Blenheim Grand Cascade - Slow
Blenheim Grand Cascade - Slow

Taken with a Lee Filters 10 stop Big Stopper

Blenheim Palace is one of the Treasure Houses of Britain and is surrounded by equally stunning gardens. It sits in over 2,000 acres of parkland which was landscaped by Capability Brown in the 18th century. A network of footpaths gives access to the parkland.

Queen Anne gave John Churchill, First Duke of Marlborough the Royal Estate of Woodstock Manor with funding to build a splendid house as a reward from a grateful public for his victories in the Spanish wars of Succession. Vanburgh was chosen to design a Palace suitable for him, surrounded by extensive parkland. He was responsible for the bridge across the steep valley of the River Glyme.

The Fourth Duke asked Capability Brown to landscape the park. He was responsible for damming the river forming Queen’s Pool with its wooded islands and the Great Lake, separated by the now partially submerged bridge.

Capability Brown carefully hid the dam by building a cascade where the waters of the Great Lake tumble down carefully placed boulders to the slow flowing River Glyme. The delicate iron bridge was built for the Fifth Duke.
