This wet grassland was formerly rich in orchids, but the field has progressivley dried out and is now species-poor. The eponymous Pond is typically dry all year round these days. The houses in the distance, built in the early 1950s, are on Buckhurst Road. The Wellingtonias (Sequoiadendron giganteum) on the skyline are in Buckhurst Park (Crown Estate), home to the King of Jordan.
