Firefighters raced to the rescue of a man who fell into a lake at a south Bucks beauty spot this week. 

The man had slipped down a bank and into a lake at the popular tourist attraction, West Wycombe Park, on Wednesday afternoon. 

Two fire crews from High Wycombe, one from Beaconsfield and the water rescue unit, which is also based at Beaconsfield, got the call for help at 2.45pm. 

Thousands of visitors visit West Wycombe Park, which is a National Trust site, every year, to marvel at the Palladian house, which has been home to the Dashwood family for more than 300 years.
