Fishing pond at Clincton Wood Local Nature Reserve. Clincton Anglers Association was first formed in July 1960 as a way of preserving the 32 acre site from being constantly targeted by vandals. In the mid 1970's, the land, ponds and small wood, was sold off to a developer for housing. The Committee of the club started a petition to stop the land being built on, and successfully obtained a tree preservation order to protect the mature oak woodland, some trees being 150 years old. In about 2002, the land and woodland was granted an SSSI status, and is now a protected local nature reserve.
