A meandering path follows the natural topography of the land and allows for a smooth stroll amongst the woodland down to the lake.A meandering path made of sandstone cobbles has been designed to experience a quiet stroll going through various atmospheres from the woodland to the lake.A retaining wall has been built around an existing birch tree to create the drop-off mound around it.A collection of rhododendrons, providing bright orange, pink and red colours amongst the pines and birch trees.
