Dunorlan Park Pond Dipping Kit

The Kent High Weald Partnership (KHWP) in partnership with Tunbridge Wells Borough Council, Dunorlan Park Head Gardener Tony Ewins and the Friends of Dunorlan Park have been working to improve the small top pond. Volunteers from the Park, Tunbridge Wells Borough Council and KHWP all took part in constructing the pond dipping platforms, benches and tables. As well as improving the water quality and working on the island and the habitats around the waters edge.

All this work has made the pond area into a safe and fun resource for schools and local groups to enjoy. KHWP has created a pond dipping kit containing all the essentials needed for a session exploring the water world.
