Do you know where the water from the pond goes? Apart from some that evaporates, some that soaks away and some that gets drunk by deer, the water flowing out of the pond forms the source of the River Ar. This stream wanders through Arford where there was presumably once a ford, then into the River Wey by Frensham Lane. Water from our pond then continues a long and winding journey to Weybridge where it joins the River Thames. By this time our water has been joined by other water from lots of sources but still it continues its journey to the sea. As it passes through London it goes right by the Queen Elizabeth Tower where the hour bell Big Ben hangs, then on for many more twisty miles until eventually it reaches the sea. So when you see a trickle of water going from our pond over the sluice and under the road, you know where it will end up!
