There is a lovely little weir on the River Chess here that's worth stopping by. Also, on the same pond, you will see stepping stones (called Steps of Heaven by some) if you'd like to walk across!

A good few years ago, I used to live in the street right next to these ponds, so I can vouch for the fact that this is a great place to spend some time at, particularly in the summer.

Legend has it that whoever walks on these steps without falling will be blessed with eternal life.
