Description

Cascade, built around 1850 by W A Nesfield, is located at the west end of South Lake in Castle Howard. It is constructed from millstone grit and features an upper pool that is square in shape with rounded corners, leading to a cascade that flows into a square lower pool. The cascade is adorned with rusticated bands, and the low chamfered walls on either side end in square piers topped with stepped cornices. The site is included in the Register of Parks and Gardens of special historic interest in England, specifically noted for its significance in North Yorkshire at Castle Howard, which is designated as Grade I.

Local climate

Cascade receives an average of 790 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 59% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 85% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 46 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 87% of listed buildings. Of these, 25 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
