アルダーホルトの湖・トップ6

Beautiful spot with plenty of wildlife

A small lake north of Ellingham Lake with easy to walk banks. On a dry day, it is perfectly possible to sit on the grass and enjoy. The buildings next to the lake are the Ellingham Water Ski and Wakeboard Club.

Visit Fritham and Eyeworth Pond, take a moment to wander through history Walk around the man-made gunpowder mill pond or take a walk through the woodland. Keep an eye out for the old black post box near the entrance to Fritham car park, there for the workers of the mill. Wander through the woodlands full of Roman remains. Fritham is a small village with the village green at it's heart. Visit the pub, named after the ancient oak opposite (over 1000 years old), or join the cycle trail network and ride over to Ogdens. You are likely to see the New Forest's ponies and cattle. Please treat these animals with care, don’t feed or pet the livestock – keep your distance.

If you've ever watched any of the evil dead films, you'll be wise not to open this trap door. they've been waiting for you. lol

A peaceful place off the New Forest tourist trail. Eyeworth Pond was created in the late 19th century to provide water power to a nearby gunpowder mill.

Green Pond is a watering hole on Fritham Plain, a heathland plateau southwest of Fritham village. Horses and cows can regularly be seen drinking from the pond, so have your camera ready for some great photos.

More like a lake than a pond. A nice spot for a picnic. Also has a small number of parking places if you want to hike from here.

Once an area of desolate gravel pits, the landscape here has been utterly transformed by the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust, in partnership with two water companies. Now a series of thriving lakes with fishing, sailing, youth education and wildlife, there’s a lot going on here despite its general serenity. Summer is a lovely time of year to visit but in winter, the bird hides come into their own as many flighty folk overwinter here from colder countries further north. Lapwings, terns and oyster catchers throw Christmas parties here. There are public toilets at the north of Ivy Lake and several car parks.
