Inspired by the water features of Versailles, they formed part of the great canalisation scheme implemented on the orders of the 1st Duke of Montagu after his Ambassadorial duties.

5. Broadwater Lake
Evolving from the initial series of elaborate water basins, the lake had reached its current size by 1746. Lost over the centuries to "benign neglect", it has been now been restored and re-boarded to establish the original crispness.

6. The Mount
Created by the 2nd Duke of Montagu perhaps intended for the construction of his Mausoleum. It was, until recently cloaked in trees, but following restoration it once again provides a superb viewing point across the still evolving landscape.

7. Orpheus feature
The new project - 'Orpheus' is intended to complement wonderfully the intelligent and visionary approach of the 1st and 2nd Dukes of Montagu. It takes the form of an inverted mound with a reflecting pool at the bottom.
