Newhill Pond, located in Oxfordshire, is a picturesque freshwater marsh that serves as a popular recreational spot for both locals and tourists. Spanning an area of approximately 10 acres, the pond is nestled amidst lush greenery, creating a serene and tranquil ambiance.

As a freshwater marsh, Newhill Pond is home to a variety of aquatic plants and wildlife. The pond's clear waters are teeming with diverse species of fish, including roach, perch, and pike, making it a haven for anglers. The surrounding marshland provides a habitat for numerous bird species, such as swans, ducks, and herons, making it an ideal destination for birdwatchers.

The pond itself is relatively shallow, with an average depth of around 3 meters. Its gently sloping banks make it easily accessible for visitors who wish to indulge in activities such as swimming or boating.

Newhill Pond is open to the public year-round, but it is particularly popular during the summer months when the weather is warm and conducive to outdoor activities. With its natural beauty and abundance of wildlife, Newhill Pond is a true gem of Oxfordshire and a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts and outdoor lovers.
