An oasis of calm is hidden behind Carshalton Ponds. It’s a mini wildlife haven where you can spot wildflowers, hidden meadows, foxes and slow worms. Join us on our brief pictorial journey around the grounds.
You can visit Sutton Ecology Centre in Carshalton anytime. The entrance is at the corner of Carshalton Ponds to the right of Honeywood Museum.
The area is 1.3 hectares and it opened to the public as a nature reserve in 1989. It has a long and varied history, and as far back as 1590 it was known as Cook’s Orchard.
Have you been? We’d love to know what you think of it here. Let us know how you got on in the comments below.
I love this garden, so peaceful.
Sutton Ecology Centre is managed by Sutton’s Biodiversity Team in partnership with Sutton Nature Conservation Volunteers sncv.org.ok and on Facebook. Eco local runs The Old Lodge building and is restoring the walled garden behind that.
