Hackfall Woods - the fountain at the fountain pond in full flow The Woodland Trust's 'Hackfall Walks' leaflet describes the fountain as follows - 'The fountain at the pond was originally created in 1756 as part of William Aislabie's master plan for Hackfall...... The fountain has now been restored using modern pipework and a gravity feed system filled from a natural spring on the hillside above. Once a certain water level is achieved in the system, a tumbler opens a valve and water flows to the fountain'. The Ruin folly can be seen on the skyline.
