Stunning Duck Pond in the equally beautiful (and very sleepy) village of Alderton. The ducks have nesting boxes & are free to come & go as they please. You can't go "in." As such, there's a fence around the pond & nest boxes, but it was lush to watch the array of ducks for a while!!

Take some time to walk up the hill & around the top. It's an area of heathland called "The Tump"! Lots of opportunities to see wildlife, especially birds. It's usually quiet up here, and really pretty. I've added a screenshot where I've circled the pathway that goes around the summit - You can walk up here and then decend down by the lake, for example. Or, you can walk up, complete the loop & head back down! Either way, I'd say it's worth coming up here

Picturesque Cotswold village built around the church of St Andrew. There is a pretty village pond and a pub.

Luxury duck residence! Nice spot to stop and enjoy a snack in the sun.

A picturesque fishing lake. A good place to stop for a break.

From Raven's Rock, you get a wonderful view over Wick Quarry pond and beyond. There is a great deal of conservation happening around here, too. Limestone grassland such as that found near Raven's Rock is a nationally important habitat for many different species.

Lovely village duck pond.

Bitterwell Lake is a man-made lake that once belonged to the Coalpit Heath Colliery Company. The lake was used to soak pit props for the mine until the closure of the mine. In 1930, the lake was aquired by the Westerleigh Parish Council who transformed it into a place to fishing, swimming, and boating. You can find more information, here: https://bitterwelllake.co.uk/
