Pond near Langford Village

This pond is in an area of linear parkland between extensive recent housing developments. The park is there mainly because of the Langford Brook which flows the other side of the cycleway in this pic. Normally a small stream, it can be prone to extensive flash flooding so housing has been kept away from a considerable area of flood plain on both sides. There are a number of small ponds around this area. The Environment Agency has done a lot of work on the stream to improve its drainage capabilities while retaining a natural looking course, which is why the cycleway meanders a bit as it follows it along.
