Sywell Country Park Art Print

This Sywell Country Park print by Vicki Shortt beautifully captures the calm and storied charm of this historic Northamptonshire landmark. Originally built in 1906 to supply water to the growing town of Rushden, the reservoir’s surroundings were later transformed into a peaceful country park, beloved by birdwatchers and walkers alike. Framed by woodlands and wildflower meadows, the reservoir supports diverse wildlife, including protected species such as the great crested newt. Vicki’s piece brings this tranquil scene to life, celebrating the reservoir’s legacy and the beauty of Sywell’s natural habitat in every detail. It will remain a special place for Vicki's husband, whose late father used to live on-site at the reservoir and used its many paths and trails to train during his days as a professional boxer.
