If you’re aim is to make your garden more sensory, antique fountains and water features are a great place to start as many people find the sound of water soothing. Not only this, but a central water fountain can be used to make large driveways appear more formal. If this is the look you’d like for your outdoor space, why not consider a central water feature for your garden?
Fountains can be both grand and simple in style. They often depict children with animals, such as a cherub holding a turtle or fish with two or three tier bowls for the water to flow from one down to the other.
Usually made from lead, stone and cast iron, fountains are commonly built inside a circular shaped surround for the water to fall into.
Some of the most important and impressive water fountains can be found around the country at National Trust properties and large country houses. When visiting these gardens, fountains are often one of the most favoured spectacles for visitors.
