One of two deep chalk quarries, now flooded, to the south-west of Cliffe village. Until fairly recently the site was run as a trout fishery. The area of water has now been subdivided so that a variety of activities can be accommodated - a sign says 'Buckland Lake Reserve - Wildfowl Reserve - Fishing - Scuba Diving - Education'. Much of the quarry falls into the next grid-square west, but the pool in the foreground in this shot (the trout fishery, by the looks of things) is in TQ7375. Seen here looking north-west from West Street.
