The Gardens:
Bridges and weirs
|
The
grounds at West Wycombe are considered among the most perfect examples
of the Natural Landscape school of gardening.
|
|
This
bridge crosses the river between the lake and sawmill house, it
was built for Sir Edward's 21st birthday and was copied from a painting
of the park by William Hannan (an etching copy of which is below).
|
|
The
gardens were constantly evolving throughout the 1700s under the
direction of such names as Revett, Repton, and significantly Cook
who was a pupil of Capability Brown.
