Iremongers Pond Association
wildlife
Iremongers Pond is a valuable home to an enormous variety of wildlife - from tiny insects to mammals, fish, and birds.
You’ll be amazed by the number of creatures along the banks, on the pond, and through the treetops. The wildlife you’ll see changes seasonally, so you never know what you might meet. Make sure you stick to the designated paths and keep plenty of distance between yourself and anything you may spot - you don’t want to scare them off or hurt them!
Details of the wildlife you can expect to see at the pond can be seen on two information boards we have. Our 'Wildlife Waypoint' is situated next to our dipping platform on the southeast corner of the pond. The second can be found between the swales and our Cherry Tree grove on the easternmost point of the Iremongers Pond location.
Some pictures we have collected from around the pond can be found in the categories below, but we always welcome new images or just names of things seen around the pond, sent to us by visitors and members.

Accessibility
With the completion of stage 3 of the development, we can now offer an all-weather (except for flooding) wheelchair and pushchair-accessible path all the way around the pond.
Please Note: in the winter months the bridge over the channel, at the northern edge of the path, may become flooded but this is usually only for a short time. The committee are currently working toward the installation of a level bridge that will alleviate this issue in the future.
The paths are of a gravel construction and so provide adequate grip for most chair users although the ramps towards the channel bridge may be slightly difficult for some wheelchair users.
There are 4 rubbish bins situated at the corners of the pond path and we would ask all users to use these, but better still take your rubbish home with you as volunteers empty these bins on a regular basis.
Pond users, visitors and walkers must abide by the Pond Rules, laid out on our Rules Page.
