Soudley Ponds, Protected wetland habitat in Forest of Dean, England.
The system of four connected ponds spans 7.04 hectares through Sutton Valley, surrounded by Douglas fir trees and natural vegetation.
The ponds were created in the 18th century to supply water to local furnaces in Soudley Valley and Camp Mill before William Crawshay acquired them in 1836.
The lower pond, known as Morgan's Pool, serves the Soudley fishing syndicate while the remaining waters function as nature reserves.
Visitors can access the site throughout the year and walk on surfaced paths connecting the north and south parking areas through bridges over the ponds.
The water body maintains specific environmental classifications under identification GB30940714, measuring 0.518 hectares at 95 meters above sea level.
