Description
The cascade at the south-west end of Boathouse Pond, located 600 meters east of Belton House, is an early 18th-century feature. It consists of a channel approximately 2 meters wide and 15 meters long, constructed from natural rock. This cascade is likely part of the garden reconstruction undertaken by Sir John Brownlow, Viscount Tyrconnel, around 1702 to 1754, and is believed to be contemporary with the Gothick ruin and cascade found in the Wilderness. The cascade is situated within Belton Park, which is listed on the Gardens Register at grade I.
