The Cascade close up at the gardens at Chatsworth.
Kids were playing all over it, although it was never designed for that! Hope they didn't slip!
The Cascade and its Temple were the crowning point of the 1st Duke of Devonshire's garden. Took two attempts, and 17 years to complete, four years after his death. May have been inspired by Louis XIV's French palace at Marly. Thomas Archer one of the Duke's architects designed the temple.

I'm taking time out of the Norfolk set to show the photos I took during a visit to Chatsworth House Gardens to see this year's "Beyond Limits" set of sculptures. It is well worth a visit and if you're rich and fancy one then contact Sotheby's.
All the glorious art made me look for some photos other than the sculptures that said something about Chatsworth.

The grounds at Chatsworth are a beautiful, idyllic place to explore, especially when touched by autumnal colour.
