Described in the National Trust leaflet handed to visitors to Lacock Abbey as 'Rockworks: Romantic ruins of an eighteenth century folly'.
However, more recently (2015) the Head Gardener of Lacock Abbey has reported some repairs to the rockworks are being undertaken and has indicated that the structure was built in 1740 and formed part of a system of water gardens which were later destroyed (no reason for the ruination is supplied). Originally water flowed through an arch over a stone cascade, but after flooding in the village during the 20th century, the water was diverted to drop its level by over a metre.
Nikon D2Xs and Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 lens.
