브리트웰 살로메‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪5‬개의 호수

This is one of the quarries here, a part of the former Chinnor Chalk Pit, now flooded and known as Old Kiln Lakes. The lakes are freshwater, but very alkaline, and there was a warning to the public issued in 2012 to not swim in there. It's a striking and moon-like place, looking very dramatic and slightly out-of-this-world. A definite must!

A beautiful area to enjoy nature during a relaxing hike or a walk.

Great Circular walks from this village....very flat as well

There's a handy bench to sit and watch the ducks!

Pond is lovely. Full of ducks (keep dogs on lead) and some large fish!

This quarry is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and well known by geologists for its phenomenal history. Packed with fossils, some of the finds here date back 100 million years. There's no public access, but you can catch glimpses of its bright high-alkaline water from the surrounding footpaths.

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.

Chinnor Works Angling Society has been running for over 25 years, we use to have the fishing at the Cement Works.
