Saintbridge Balancing Pond

So peaceful and harmonious with the human spirit.

Lovely place to walk great for dogs as they can come off the lead great for photography.

A little oasis of calm with ducks and squirrels. You can feed the ducks, sit and contemplate life or walk around the pond for exercise while listening to the birds.

A lovely area to walk around to see different types of wildlife. My son and I particularly like the heron that is in residence!

If you’re not local, parking can be an issue. I recommend parking further out and walking in.
Don’t be dismayed if approaching from Saintbridge Surgery side (as I did on my first visit), the path continues onwards and around the entire pond. The balancing pond is not just comprised of the wooded area.

No tickets required. The Balancing pond is such a peaceful place to visit, it’s so quiet and sometimes you catch glimpses of some nature!

This used to be a really nice place to visit especially bring young children to see swans ducks, egrets etc. It is now overgrown, plagued with rats and you are lucky to see anything from the one vantage point left. If letting the pond overgrow is conservation then the only thing flourishing are rats which are now branching out in local houses.

Such a calming and beautiful walk with the dogs....Love this little nature reserve hidden in a city!...

Lovely place to walk the dog or just have a Sunday stroll
