The Royal Oak Inn
& Meerkat Retreat

Our Wildlife Pond is a peaceful little corner of The Royal Oak, created to encourage local nature and give visitors a chance to slow down and explore the outdoors.

​

Designed with wildlife in mind, the pond provides a natural habitat for plants, insects and visiting creatures, helping to support biodiversity right here in the village. It’s a lovely spot for families and children to observe nature up close — from spotting insects and pond life to enjoying a quiet moment surrounded by greenery.

 

The Wildlife Pond reflects our love of the natural world and our commitment to creating a welcoming, family-friendly space where both people and wildlife can thrive. Whether you’re visiting with curious little explorers or simply enjoying some fresh air in the garden, it’s a gentle reminder of the nature all around us.

 

Please help us look after this special area by observing respectfully and leaving the wildlife undisturbed.
