Hiking
It is likely that somewhere here the castle moats were originally controlled by sluices which could be emptied into the low-lying meadow area. In the 1800’s, the Victorians created this grotto, and planted the banks with various ‘exotic’ plants, including snowdrops, bluebells and cotoneaster. Frogs,
herons, moorhens and wagtail are to be seen at times. The shallow edges, exposed mud and waterlogged wood are all good for invertebrates. Pond dipping here is fun, but the mud is very deep,
so please take care and always keep children under supervision.
