The nearest I got was a dark bush cricket it was in my garden I leave the grass long round the pond.

Hi Elaine

This looks like a rather mottled Field Grasshopper to me.

Yes, Grasshoppers and Crickets are different,with crickets you will usually see much longer antennae and the females have large ovipositors for example.
