The Serpentine

The Serpentine is a natural or artificial waterway that winds through a landscape, often resembling a snake’s shape. In a broader sense, it can refer to a curvilinear stretch of water, like a river or canal, that follows a winding path. The term is also associated with the Serpentine Lake in London's Hyde Park, which was created as a ornamental feature. Essentially, it describes a flowing, meandering watercourse that adds visual interest and ecological diversity to its surroundings.
