Love this place and enjoy walks here a lot. It is peaceful and there's plenty wildlife around. I've seen deer, moorhens, ducks, dippers, herons, a badger!, foxes, darbentons bats, owls, woodpeckers, frogs and many more. It has an interesting history being old Mill ponds but now are a haven for wildlife. It leads on to the old railway walk to Roslin and Dalkeith which is a beautiful walk.
Lovely little pond with a couple of decked areas to stand and view it from. There's a public bench at the pond too. After it's been wet the ground underfoot can be very muddy so don't visit in nice shoes. We visit as it's a location where we have often seen a kingfisher. There are no public toilets. If you wish there is a footpath that takes you along the Riverside all the way to Dalkeith, so a good walk for those who wish too do so.
Recommend for a nice walk or if you just want to go and chill, path takes you all the way to Dalkeith
