Works are needed to repair two walls in the lake at Studley Royal near Ripon as they risk collapsing into the water.
Studley Royal is a water garden and has pools, canals and cascades fed from the river Skell. The National Trust, which owns the site, has submitted plans to North Yorkshire Council to repair walls that form part of the weir on the north-east side of the lake. They would be repaired with re-used stone to maintain its historic appearance.
” In August, the National Trust revealed £3.5 million plans to improve the UNESCO World Heritage Site, including offering revamped visitor facilities. The plan called ‘Studley Revealed’ focuses on the water garden area of the estate and the canal gates area. It will remake landscape features that were at the heart of the original 18th century garden design. The plans will also see the creation of new welcome and visitor facilities.
