Summary[edit]

Description
English: Ashmore, village pond Pond in the highest village in Dorset, fed exclusively by rainwater; it only dries out about every twenty years. At least Saxon, possibly earlier, as the village lies close to a Roman road. The pond was polluted by introduced goldfish, whose droppings led to algal bloom, and villagers are now trying to raise funds to have it emptied, restored and refilled. http://www.thisisdorset.co.uk/fosseway/news/Villagers-launch-appeal-save-world-famous-pond/article-541362-detail/article.html
