High Wycombe: The Dyke waterfall

The Dyke is an artificial lake, some 800 metres long, that was created in the 18th Century during the landscaping of the parkland around Wycombe Abbey. It was possibly designed by Lancelot Brown. This is the waterfall at the downstream, south-eastern, end, where excess water drains off into Wycombe Marsh Brook, a tributary of the River Wye.
