The serpentine lake at Kirkharle, designed by famed landscape architect Lancelot "Capability" Brown who was born here in 1716, was finally completed in 2010. Brown's plan, rediscovered in 1980s, breathed new life into the Grade 2 listed parkland. Over 2,000 trees were planted with the help of local schoolchildren, restoring the parkland to its former glory.

A fully accessible 1km pathway winds through the landscape, with informative boards along the way. This allows visitors to enjoy the park year-round.
