A day out exploring the fascinating heritage of The Royal Landscape is both exciting and educational. Every century has left its mark on the landscape, from Saxon times through to the present day.
One of the most interesting areas to explore is the southern shore of Virginia Water lake. This artificial lake ws created in the 18th Century, under William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland. The famous cascade (a short walk from Virginia Water car park) dates from that time, although in fact there had been an earlier cascade a little further west, on a previous pondhead which collapsed.
Thomas Sandby, the renowned topographical draughtsman, worked under George III further designing the landscape, and the Leptis Magna ruins were installed by George IV in 1818 - they remain to this day and are well worth a visit.
