Frensham Little Pond Beach

Highlight • Lake

Swimming is not permitted at Frensham Little Pond, but this still makes a lovely spot to pause for a while. You can see straight across to the reed beds on the eastern shore. The beach is set in a backdrop of pine trees. A lovely place to hang out on a hot summer's day.

View of Frensham Little Pond from King's Ridge

Highlight • Natural

On a clear day, the King’s Ridge provides a fine vantage point for Frensham Little Pond, one of the largest lakes in Surrey, and for the heathland of Frensham Common, one of the finest heathlands in Surrey.

The King’s Ridge runs north-south between Frensham Little Pond and Frensham Great Pond, and is named because King Edward VII reviewed his troops from up here. The Ridge is about 300 feet (90m) above sea level.

The views northeast, across the sandy heathland of Frensham Common to the blue waters of Frensham Little Pond, is beautiful. The scene also displays a soft, silver sand path and colourful vegetation. Depending upon season you may also see yellow gorse and/or magenta heather.

King's Ridge View of Frensham Ponds

Highlight • Viewpoint

There are cracking views of both the Big and Little Frensham Ponds from up here on the King's Ridge. So called as King Edward VII watched his troops from this vantage point. In the spring and early summer when the gorse is out, it somehow becomes even more stunning.
