The original water garden on this site was built in 1959 when the local pageant made a surplus of £2000 which was used to fund the project.
It was a modern, paved, open plan water garden and the basic layout still remains. However, many years later it was decided to enclose it and extra beds and a bog garden were added.
Many of the trees and shrubs have now matured to give some gentle shade at the waters edge.
The sound of running water captures the peaceful nature of this area of the park.
Iris, Astilbe, Caltha and Rheum are all well adapted to flourish successfully in the moist conditions created for them.
