Black Dam Pond — Attraction in Basingstoke and Deane

Unexpected visit

Black Dam Ponds is located in Basingstoke. It's  a lovely and nice place to walk around and there is also a park area next to it. Good to chill out and have a walk to watch the birds around. This has a small view with ducks and swans. It’s got benches to sit by the lake and watch the birds. People can go for a walk. There is free parking. It’s very peaceful to sit there. Was told about this area but didn’t expect this in Basingstoke, well worth a visit. Arrange your visit to Black Dam Ponds and discover more family-friendly attractions in...
