Beskrivning
Rackerhayes just to the North of the centre of Newton Abbot, is a collection of ponds, probably better to be called lakes due to their size and surrounded by trees/shrubs and rough areas. The Ponds attract a good variety of duck species (especially when areas further North are experiencing freezing conditions), the surrounding trees/shrubs are good for passerines and there are more open areas of grass giving a choice of routes other than that drawn on the map.

This area can become reasonably busy during Summer and at Weekends, but because Newton Abbot is not on the coast it is less of a problem here. A visit on a weekday or during cold weather is an option.
