                        | Linford Bottom to the east of the A31 is a also a popular spot for dog
                        walkers and picnickers and can become quite overcrowded in season and on
                        weekends. 
 Like Whitten Pond and Blashford Lakes the proximity to the River
                        Avon means it is one of the only guaranteed places in the forest where you
                        can observe Brown Hawkers, usually patrolling the tree-line to the north
                        of the stream.
