Whitten Pond is in the middle of open heathland south of Burley. The spot is especially popular in the summer months with people coming to relax on the shoreline, eat picnics and enjoy the scenery. You can often see herds of ponies grazing around the pond, plus birds and other wildlife.

Lovely space during the summer with fantastic walling. But the forest ask you not to walk in the area around the pond during ground nesting time (Feb to July) as rare birds breed here.
