Beschrijving

Rackerhayes just to the North of the centre of Newton Abbot, is a collection of ponds, probably better to be called lakes due to their size and surrounded by trees/shrubs and rough areas. The Ponds attract a good variety of duck species (especially when areas further North are experiencing freezing conditions), the surrounding trees/shrubs are good for passerines and there are more open areas of grass giving a choice of routes other than that drawn on the map.
