Interesting place to visit. Who constructed this stone bridge?

pepe, Keno, Gabe, Luka, Steve, Eva, Arif, Sue and Sekica:

Around 1725 Lord Cobham expanded the garden to its current southern and western boundaries, and this expansion enclosed the Home Park entirely within the garden, making it a sort of wilderness inside a more artificial area.

Although the Octagon Lake cascade dates from around 1722, it was not until some six years later that another dam was built some 500 yards farther downstream to create the Eleven Acre Lake.

It was at this time, in 1728/29 that accounts indicate that the Artificial Ruins, or the rockwork arches over the Octagon Lake cascade, were built. Another cascade of some 25 feet high leading out of the Eleven Acre Lake was built to let water into the Copper Bottom.

Cheers, Tony
