Full Description
Bradbourne Lakes. Now a public park, the chain of artificial lakes was first laid out by Henry Bosville between 1740 and 1761 as a picturesque landscape of lakes and waterfalls, forming the setting for large mansion Bradbourne Hall. The surviving features of the designed landscape which consist of five interconnecting lakes made by damming a branch of the River Darent, is largely unchanged from when it was laid out in the mid 18th Century.
