Description
The small cascade and two lakes located about 50 metres west of the stable block attached to the south of Dyrham House date from the late 17th century to early 18th century, with later alterations. Constructed from limestone, the cascade features a flight of 15 rusticated stone steps that are approximately 2 metres wide, directing water into a rectangular pool measuring about 10 metres by 18 metres, which has coursed rubble walls and a freestone west wall. The water flows into a lower lake situated about 14 metres to the west, which also has rubble walls and shaped ends on the east and west, measuring approximately 30 metres by 60 metres. The cascade and lakes are depicted in Kip's view of Dyrham and the water garden from 1712; it is possible that the lakes have been reduced in size since that time and that the lower cascade has been removed.
