A view from Grotto Island with the Chinese Bridge in the foreground, with a view across the lake, at Painshill Park, Surrey. A group is out on the water in a small hand-powered paddle-driven boat. Designed and created between 1738-73 by Charles Hamilton MP, the gardens moved away from geometric formality to a new naturalistic style. It is now regarded as one of the finest remaining examples of an 18th century English landscape park.
