General Information

Tongham Pool was formed through gravel extraction for the construction of the Blackwater Valley Relief Road (A331), which runs along the east side of the site. Since then the Blackwater Valley Countryside Partnership have worked
with Surrey and Guildford Councils to restore the site to an area which has public access and features for nature conservation. The River Blackwater forms the western boundary of the site.

The shallow lake margins are ideal for wildfowl and various water plants. The site is also populated by damselflies and dragonflies.
