Restoring the man-made stream below C. W. Bampfylde’s Great Cascade, 1995.

Restoration of the Great Cascade (b. 1762) took place in the winter of 1996, and apart from necessary tree and scrub clearance, addressed critical repairs to the substantial brickwork leat which had once conducted water to the Cascade’s artificial cliff from a pond higher up the combe (valley). The leat was retained by a dry-stone wall known as a revetment which was also repaired.
