I want to create a natural pond in my garden but I want it to be as natural as possible is there any way of making one without the plastic lining underneath?
 
You can use bentonite ( a drilling mud clay) for a bottom. Unless you have clay naturally occurring already, you must add it or the ground won't hold water.
Lined ponds can look totally natural: Have a look:

These are all ponds lined with 40 mil butyl rubber liner.
