Description
The Southern Retaining Wall to the Upper Terrace is a retaining wall and steps built around 1896, which is tentatively attributed to the architect Edwin Lutyens, although it was likely altered by Detmar Blow in 1911 for the 2nd Duke. The wall is constructed from pale grey stone and red sandstone. It features balustraded wings; the left wing projects with quadrant corners and overlooks the southern "Italian" gardens, while the right wing includes a central balustraded flight of 12 stone steps leading to the middle terrace.
