Ponds & Wildlife
At the heart of our farm in Crai, nestled along a peaceful footpath leading to the River Crai, lie our thoughtfully maintained farm ponds. These ponds are part of a thriving ecosystem, supported by flourishing hedgerow corridors that act as natural highways for wildlife. They provide vital habitat for a wide array of insects and invertebrates, including dragonflies, crane flies, and moths. The islands within the ponds offer safe havens for moorhens and ducklings, contributing to the rich biodiversity that makes this area so special.
Guests are warmly invited to take a leisurely stroll down the footpath and discover this hidden natural retreat. Park benches placed by the ponds offer a perfect spot to relax, reflect, or simply take in the tranquil scenery. Whether you're listening to the gentle buzz of wildlife, birdwatching, or bringing along an art set to sketch the landscape, the ponds provide a peaceful and inspiring corner of the farm to connect with nature.
