Description
A stone staircase with low flanking walls known as the Long Walk together with an ornamental arch across the staircase built from 1906 to a design by Thomas Mawson for Lord Leverhulme. Both features are built in gritstone.
The staircase runs from a lane close to the gate piers to the former Stone Lodge and continues uphill for approximately 200m to the Upper Drive. The staircase is crossed by a path running south from the Great Lawn and at the top of the steps at this point an ornamental archway has been built of rock-faced gritstone blocks with through stones above the arch. The voussoir is of thin gritstone slates with a keystone.
