Temple of Diana added to Historic Buildings in South East by clinkadink on 02/10/2023

Parking & TOAL: 51.341577, -1.342135

The Temple of Diana sits within the grounds of Highclere Castle. It was built in the late 18th century overlooking Dunsmore Lake and would have been passed by visitors approaching the house from the 1st Earl's new London Lodge from 1793 onwards.

Highclere Castle is set amidst 1,000 acres of spectacular parkland, designed for the 1st Earl of Carnarvon by the famous 18th century landscape gardener "Capability" Brown.

There are six 18th century follies framing views from which to admire the landscape. For example, Jackdaw’s Castle on the East lawns provides a charming view to the Castle, the Etruscan Temple is a place in which to sit and admire the trees on Siddown Hill, whilst the Temple of Diana looks over the lake.

Higham, Gravesham (By outdoorswithmatt)

It’s a lovely location near to but not in the village of Higham in Kent. I’ve never seen anyone else there but it is a public right of way and has a signpost clearly saying public footpath. There is a private residence next to one of the lakes, so keep in mind the privacy of the occupants and avoid flying near to it even with a sub 250g drone like the DJI Flip.

Old Bedford River and New Bedford River floodplain, East Cambridgeshire (By liberator24)

This is the floodplain between the New Bedford River and the Old Bedford River. The construction of these was carried out in the 1600s by Dutch drainage engineer Cornelius Vermuyden in order to drain the Fens, making the suitable for farming. The floodplain is a SSSI, but would appear to relate to plants and riverlife.
