West Wycombe Park is a perfectly preserved rococo landscape garden of 46 acres created in the 18th century by Sir Francis Dashwood, the founder of the notorious Hellfire Club. Numerous temples, including the Temple of Venus, a cascade, a lake with several islands and another temple, numerous fine trees and sweeping lawns provide a continuous series of interesting views as the visitor proceeds around the park, perhaps imagining the Bacchanalian feasts that took place here in its early years.
