Summary
| Description |
English: Castle Oak pond, Usk This pond was originally excavated in the 1850s to provide water for the steam trains on the line between Little Mill and Monmouth. During the excavation skeletons were found believed to be those slain at the battle of Pwll Melyn in 1405 when Owen Glendower's forces were heavily defeated by those of Henry IV. The line was closed in 1955 by Lord Beeching. Despite now being totally surrounded by the Castle Oak housing estate the pond is home to a rare amphibian -the greater crested newt. |
