Frensham Great Pond

While Frensham Great Pond is not technically a beach, as far as manmade inland varieties go it's a sterling effort particularly as it's so much closer to the city than actual coastline: vast 13th century lake with sandy beaches, woodland trails, bridle paths and heavy on the natural wildlife!

It's ideal territory for twitchers, as around the pond you can spot a great many common and rare birds, such as reed bunting, sedge warbler, great crested grebe, woodlarks and May to September of an evening you can hear the unusual sounds of the nightjar!
