Poringland Lakes

Poringland Lakes is a truly important local open space.
Surrounded by housing development, it provides a vital and varied habitat for animals and flora.
The centre-piece is its three lakes and two conservation ponds which are rich in invertebrates and fish.  Created by the extraction of sand and gravel, the lakes attract a great variety of birdlife and are colonized by wetland plants. Dragonflies and other aquatic insects are common.
