    Tips

    August 1, 2024

    The pond area at Sissinghurst Castle was created when they were excavated in the 16th century and the clay was used to make bricks for the tower. In the intervening years the ponds have been stocked with fish and the extensive tree and vegetation growth has provided an excellent and diverse variety of environments that are home to countless animals and birds, invertebrates and amphibians. All this may seem like a beautiful self-managing habitat, but nothing could be further from the truth.

    The amount of water flowing into the ponds can be controlled by adjusting sluices, but measures must be taken to prevent the inflow of water-borne weeds such as algae.
