A bench sited in this position provides a sunny spot to
sit. It looks back at the weir and house.
The weir wall carries
on to retain this area of planting while the lawn/ground level
slopes up to meet the higher level of the upper lake.
The weir is to be
faced in gritstone with a natural stone path along the front.
Where the water falls there are stepping stones raised so
as not to get to wet and slippy. The water then falls through
large boulders creating sound and extra movement. The rocks
should also edge the path and make you feel secure when walking
across.
The
reed shelf creates a spur into the lower lake. To highlight
this shape there is a sculpture sited here. This will form
a focus to the main view from the house entrance and lawn.
The sculpture should be quite large and bold so that it can
be seen from a distance.
