Spring Pond is a picturesque freshwater body located in the scenic region of Yorkshire, England. Nestled amidst rolling green hills and surrounded by lush vegetation, this serene water feature offers a tranquil escape for both locals and visitors alike.

As its name suggests, Spring Pond owes its existence to a natural spring that feeds its crystal-clear waters. With a surface area of approximately 2 hectares, the pond is neither too large nor too small, striking the perfect balance between intimacy and expansiveness. Its depth varies, ranging from shallow areas where sunlight penetrates and encourages the growth of aquatic plants, to deeper sections that provide a habitat for various fish species.

Surrounding the pond is a diverse array of plant life, including water lilies, reeds, and rushes, which provide shelter and nesting sites for a wide variety of bird species. This makes Spring Pond a popular destination for birdwatchers, who can observe the graceful flight and charming calls of species such as mallards, coots, and herons.

In addition to its aesthetic appeal and ecological significance, Spring Pond also serves as a recreational space for the local community. A well-maintained footpath encircles the pond, allowing visitors to take leisurely strolls while immersing themselves in the breathtaking natural beauty of the area. In the summer months, families often gather around the pond for picnics, while fishing enthusiasts can try their luck at catching perch or roach.

Overall, Spring Pond in Yorkshire offers a harmonious blend of natural beauty, wildlife diversity, and recreational opportunities, making it a true gem in the region's landscape.

Roman Road, Bardsey According to the OS Map, the track to the left of the hedge is the course of a Roman Road. How can they tell? It just looks like a muddy track at the edge of a field to me! The wood in the background is Stubbing Moor Plantation.

Pompocali Pompocali is an area of earthworks, just south of Hetchell Wood between Bardsey and Scarcroft. It is traditionally believed to be the remains of a Roman Fort. However recent research suggests that it is more likely to be waste material from nearby quarrying around Hetchell Crags, possibly in the Roman period.
