Created by diverting the Day Brook to a meandering course with small ponds in around 2008 as a flood alleviation scheme, the area has developed more of a wetland ecology with extensive reed-beds. The intention of attracting more diverse wildlife, as indicated on the board, has however been fulfilled.
