The series of lakes and waterfalls in the park were created in the mid to late 18th century. Seen from the footpath crossing the top waterfall [[2825414]] is the second lake, the top lake being beyond the bridge which can just be discerned in the distance. Heythrop Park is registered under the Historic Buildings and Ancient Monuments Act 1953 within the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens for its special historic interest.
