The residents of the ‘Duckingham Palace’ duck house on Otford Pond have been a feature of the village for several years now. They will never go hungry, due to the number of visitors who like to indulge in the age-old pleasure of feeding the ducks. The attractive pond with its willow trees forms a natural roundabout in the centre of the village and is unusual in that it has been granted listed status.
The pond is a Grade 2 listed structure, first listed 16 Jan 1975.
The pond is thought to date back to Anglo Saxon times, when it was probably used as a drinking hole for local livestock.

So well deserved I’m immensely proud of the village and the pond it’s stunning all year round I regularly spend time photographing it and the ducks.
