A cascade in Badger Dingle
In the late 18th and early 19th Century, Sir Isaac Hawkins Browne, an iron and coal magnate who owned the Badger Hall estate, hired William Emes, a pupil of Capability Brown, to create a picturesque landscape in the sandstone gorge of the Dingle. Paths were laid and the brook that runs through the Dingle was dammed to form a series of pools with a rotunda at one end and a boathouse at the other. Today most of it has gone or been overgrown but there are still two small cascades below the dammed pond. This photo shows the lower, more natural cascade, the upper one being a series of steps.
