Hedgecourt Wildlife

Hedgecourt Lake is an ancient mill pond resulting from the damming of the upper Eden Brook. At about 800m long, it is the largest body of semi-natural open water in east Surrey. The lake itself is not part of the reserve, which runs along the west of the lake. You’ll find many wonders of wildlife around the lake.
