SE 2869 LINDRICK WITH STUDLEY STUDLEY PARK ROYAL AND FOUNTAINS 9/57 Weir and cascade at outlet from the Lake, with flanking wall and ford

GV II

Weir and cascade with flanking walls and ford. c1720 by John Simpson, mason, for John Aislabie. Gritstone. Ford of stone setts, weir and flanking walls of large blocks. Ford approximately 3 metres wide, weir approximately 3 metres high. Flanking walls have segmental-arched sluice outlets. The River Skell emerges from the Lake over the ford and drops into its natural bed to continue on a meandering course through the valley known as Seven Bridge Walk. The lake is almost entirely man-made and the weir forms the northern limit to Aislabie's planned garden scheme. Below the weir the natural features of the landscape predominate. The ford carried a carriage drive which encircled the lake and continued down the stream through Mackershaw Wood. It was not then possible to cross the River Skell on foot at any point between the Rustic Bridge (qv) and Seven Bridges Walk.
