A Summer House with style

A few weeks ago I posted a image of the ornamental lake at Scampston Hall in North Yorkshire. Capability Brown planned the extensive parkland including the lake in the eighteenth century. Nothing about this lake is natural but was designed to give the owner a pleasing outlook from his house. To add to the owner’s pleasure this mock classical summerhouse was built at the top of the lake allowing the family to enjoy the vita in some style

 

Good heavens I managed a fence on a Friday HFF

 

A shot of the lake is posted at the top of the comments
