Bentley Priory Nature Trail
Post 25: This is Boot Pond, so called because of its shape. As part of a large London-wide scheme to improve the environment for amphibians and reptiles, the Heritage Lottery Fund is funding a project to close off the “toe” of the pond to your right from the main volume of water. The hope is that this will keep fish out of the toe area and therefore allow amphibians, especially newts, to breed.

From here it is a short walk back to the Old Lodge Way gate and the end of the trail. We hope you have enjoyed it. Please send any comments, photographs, and notes about interesting species seen to admin@harrowncf.org.

If you started the trail in the middle, you can continue the trail by walking diagonally uphill to join the metalled path. You should be able to see post 1 on the path just before it enters the wood.
