About
This lake once powered the giant hammer of John Browne's forge, the flames of which could be seen about the country at 10 miles distance. This forge was one of the major iron foundries in the area, all that now remains is Furnace Pond. Today, it's a much quieter place with pleasant walks, fishing and birdwatching being the main activities today. Part of the HighWeald Landscape Trail.
