Seriously overgrown for several years this pond was cleared by a group of National Trust Volunteers to provide a watering place for cattle, sheep and Dartmoor ponies that are used to control scrub on this western end of the Mendip Hills. Crook Peak can just be seen, in the far distance, between the two largest trees.
