Fleet Pond Nature Reserve

Didn't get to go round the whole nature reserve as the weather turned nasty, but from what was seen it's a lovely space to wander, cycle or take the dog for a walk. The further you enter you forget the busy railway line right next door. Home to lots of wildlife. Absolutely stunning scenery. Definitely well worth visiting... on a nice day.

Lovely place to walk.

Some paths have recently been upgraded (as has the road to drive in), so accessibility has been greatly improved. Lots of benches dotted around the pathway for those who need a rest as they go round.

Parking is limited.

No toilets or cafe, but a nice picnic area with a few benches/tables to stop for your lunch or a snack.

Dogs on lead in certain areas (check maps) though otherwise off lead and under control is permitted. The pathway isn't fenced in all the way round, so beware there are areas a loose dog could escape to the neighbouring houses/roads. Access to the water in some places (main pond and surrounding streams), and of course watch out for the birds.

Haven't been here for years! The work on the track has turned it into a road (with speed humps!). Took a short walk by the pond, towards fleet station. Really great improvements all round!

Wonderful place for a walk and to feed the ducks!
The paths are pushchair friendly which is a big plus and there are lots of spots to pull over and feed the ducks.
Have been on several occasions and will be going back again and again.

Wonderful scenic place to walk. There are several trails you can follow based on your preferences.
Love this place.

A great dry path walk around the lake and nature reserve with our little dog. Expected to be a 1 hour visit on such a warm
autumn day it was over 2 hours.

Scenic trails. Seems quite peaceful. Pond? More like a huge lake. Plenty of small bridges. Quite well maintained. No litter on the paths but would be good to see strategically placed bins. Boating centre on site. Plenty of decent fishing spots. Some paths are narrow so when you have dog walkers, cyclists etc. it can feel a bit crowded. Some good signposting on maps and a few boards on the wildlife and history. The entrance and exit on the main road could be better. Perhaps wider or less restrictive in view. Not too bad to enter but exiting off a blind corner on to a 50mph road can take a while. Would recommend visiting though.

Good place for excise,walking riding bikes, dog walks, children love running through the woods picking up pine cones and looking at the different ducks and geese swans etc nice views too.

One lap of Fleet pond is a good start to the day!

Such a beautiful hidden gem!

Always love it here. Nice wide open path around the lake makes it great for accessibility to all. I often take a wonder away from the pond into the woodlands behind hartlands which is great for walking the dog and in the large field a bunch of enthusiasts fly their miniature planes which are great fun to watch. Always had good experiences here

Lovely place to walk with beautiful scenery. Paths a bit muddy today but not really surprising given the amount of rain recently.

Great place for a walk and to see waterbirds. Very popular with families at the weekend.

A lovely place to walk or cycle and with children. A lap of the pond is a great way to escape for an hour or so. The surrounding woodland is also lovely.

Lovely walks on good footpaths through woods and canals around the ponds

Really nice walk, especially if you have children who like trains. The main body of the walk is raised paths that are good in most weather. You'd be fine with a buggy, but might get a bit grubby. Social distancing generally observed, though perhaps not so easy on some of the bridges. Saw a heron, moorhens, ducks and coots. Apparently fish stock is down due to environmental issues.

One of my favourite places for a little walk

Excellent place. To spend with your family. Kids love this place. Suitable for walk, jog, dog walk. Nature at its best.

A lovely walk, not too long and lots to see.

Nice woodland around the pond for walking. Streams, birds, squirrels and insects, a good place to explore local wildlife with kids.
