Whilst Rowan was at Running Wild on Thursday I went a walk around the woods and brick ponds of Acomb. There are lots of ponds around York that were formed when clay was dug out for the brick building industry. Most of the ponds are tucked away and secret places. Chapman's Pond is unknown to a lot of people in the area, and is a real treasure [photo] I saw a Great Crested Grebe there, looking magnificent with its crest.
