Description
The Cascade at West Wycombe Park is an 18th-century structure that has undergone 20th-century alterations and additions. A print from 1757 depicts a triple cascade under an arch made of artificial rocks. The current design features five segmental brick arches that are flint-faced and include keystones, brick bands, and ashlar copings. On either side of the cascade, there are two 20th-century pedestals with reclining female figures made of fiberglass that imitate lead.
