Old clay pits

These ponds are believed to be old clay pits used to supply the Roman brick kiln on the hill to the north of the farm – so they could be 2,000 years old! They now provide a wonderful wetland habitat for plants, frogs, dragonflies and wild birds.

Organic farmers avoid using chemical fertilisers and pesticides which can run-off the fields into ponds and rivers causing pollution. This helps to safeguard habitats such as these.
