말로우 바텀‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪5‬개의 호수

Stunning little pond on Penn Common with a charming pub nearby. A great place to stop for a break, or just to enjoy the view as you ride past. Especially beautiful as the sun is going down.

On an island in the lake, the Music Temple is an elegant, Doric temple with a semi-circular end. Dating from the 1770s it was used as a theatre and the remains of a stage survive inside it. It is still sometimes used for musical entertainments in the summer.

Pondlife The series of ponds which occupy the old clay pits are frequented by both great crested and smooth newts and are heavily vegetated in places. Aquatic vegetation associated with the more open areas includes locally abundant frogbit, with occasional common water-plantain, white water-lily and broadleaved pondweed. The colony of frogbit is particularly notable as it has suffered a severe decline in Britain and appears on the current Red List in the vulnerable category. Other aquatic plants present include common water-starwort, ivy-leaved duckweed, and a small amount of water-violet which is a declining local speciality of ditches and ponds close to the Thames.

Archaeological Surveys undertaken in Park Wood have revealed a fascinating past for this quiet area of deciduous woodland. Lynchets and banks within the woods give evidence of ancient field systems which may date back to the late Iron Age/early Roman period (or they may be medieval). In the beech woodland opposite the pond is evidence of a late thirteenth/early fourteenth homestead in the woodlands and in Tudor times (1485 – 1603) the woodland was a deer park. Much of Park Wood was converted to beech woodland from the late 18th until the early 20th century to cater for the High Wycombe furniture industry. Associated features include sawpits, tracks and charcoal burning platforms. https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/chilterns-countryside/trails/bradenham-beech-woods-and-bunkers-trail
