Lake

Clumber Park
Clumber
England

View of lake and ship with people sitting on the bank. The park at Clumber was enclosed after 1707 by the 3rd Duke of Newcastle (of the neighbouring Welbeck Abbey) as a park for the Queen's use, but was not developed fully until the 1760's when a stone clad brick house was built, suffering Victorian alterations and which was finally pulled down c.1938. The house stood behind the area from which this photograph was taken, very close to this serpentine lake. Behind this are the 18th and 19th century stables and offices (now National Trust Regional H.Q.) The park is now open to the public. See NCCN000127 and NCCN000128
