Dix Pit

Dix Pit is a vast, deep gravel pit known for impressive winter duck counts and large gull gatherings. Because of its size, the lake appeals to rafting species, and Great Crested Grebe is often present in good numbers. In cold spells the lake attracts Goosander, while gull roosts occasionally hold Caspian and Yellow-legged Gull.

Views are distant but rewarding, and the pit forms a key part of the wider Lower Windrush ecosystem.
