Once
you have crossed the field you enter this small copse of trees. A raised path leads
past a shallow stream and a series of ponds and takes you out to
visit the lagoon. |

In
this section there were a number of displays and a slide show
telling you about the history of the swannery and surrounding
area. Originally the swans were bred by monks from the local
Abbey, who then ate some of them for food. Nowadays this is a
nature reserve and a popular tourist attraction and it is
illegal to eat the swans! |

The
sign above warns visitors to be careful around these wild birds.
However, very close to the sign these swans were posing on the path and
looking entirely harmless. |
