Feeding the ducks in Andover
Going to feed the ducks is a timeless activity – one which many of us enjoyed doing as children ourselves, and enjoy doing with our own children now.
My top places to feed the ducks in Andover are
- Town Mills Pocket Park set alongside the River Anton.
- Rooksbury Mill, Rooksbury Mill Local nature Reserve, Barlows Lane, Andover SP10 2HA
- Anton Lakes Local Nature Reserve, Andover, Hampshire SP10 3SY.
Please remember NOT to feed them bread as we now know this is bad for ducks. Ducks enjoy eating Grapes, Lettuce, Frozen peas and sweetcorn, Oats,Seeds, Rice.
If you know of something that’s free that I have missed please email me the details so that i can add here to ensure all local families are in the know about it. My email is familylife@loveandover.com
