Lagoons, South Kyme When I took this picture, I was puzzled to know what the reason for these lagoons was. Another member has now provided the following helpful information: The lagoons were constructed following the extraction of clay to reline the Kyme Eau. They were intended as a habitat creation measure (i.e. not fishing) and they are attracting plenty of wildlife. The adjacent farm has been converted from arable to poultry (free-range egg production), hence all the tree planting to provide shelter.

Kyme Eau The French name has persisted. It is an extension to the River Slea and was formerly navigable between the river Witham and Sleaford.
