Swelling Hill pond (formerly know as Swan Hill pond) is a picturesque spot on Swelling Hill Road on Swelling Hill just outside Ropley in Hampshire. It can be traced back to the beginning of the 18th century and is believed to be man-made. It’s situated just off St Swithin’s Way so would have been a vital watering place for the horses of travellers taking this historic path.

Great little stop with outside space and solid cake options. It's off a nice quiet, shaded, long straight slightly descending country road so be careful you don't get carried away with the pleasant rolling and miss it!
