Fonthill Lake
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fonthill Lake (grid reference ST933319) is a lake in southwest Wiltshire, UK.
A stream flows out of the southern end of the lake and joins the River Nadder at Tisbury, 2 km to the southeast.
It lies just to the south of the village of Fonthill Bishop, east of the village of Fonthill Gifford, and northeast of Fonthill Abbey. The lake is 1.3 km long and 100m wide at its maximum breadth.
A sizeable population of the introduced Mandarin duck is resident at Fonthill Lake (and on surrounding rivers) together with a number of wild swans.
The lake was used as the location for the filming of all the river scenes in the film Chocolat.
