Full description

National Trust, Arlington Court, Devon (Unknown). SDV339291.

Lower Wilderness Pond, Arlington Court. Not shown on the Tithe Map. Described as fishpond on 1889 Ordnance Survey 25 inch map. Much silted and overgrown until restoration in 1998. Impression that the carriageway overlays, and therefore post-dates, the pond. Grid Reference provided; SS61164073. Other details: 14407.


Blaylock, S., 1996 - 1998, Arlington Court, Devon (Ground Photograph). SDV339293.

It is likely that the grid reference provided in the National Trust reference is incorrect, and that this is actually 'Upper Wilderness Pond'.
