This narrow pond alongside the footpath is much overgrown and in the summer is hardly visible from the path or the Golf Club road to the right of the photograph. The pond is probably the only section of the long lost Charnwood Forest Canal, which linked Thringstone to Nanpantan, to still hold water. It was originally built to carry coal and leaves only a few traces along its original route. There are open fields to the left and the curiously named Snell's Nook Lane is straight ahead.
