Description

The ha-ha in Cannon Hall Park, located to the south of the house and east side of the gardens, was built in 1761 by landscape gardener Richard Woods for John Spencer Stanhope of Cannon Hall. It is constructed of coursed rubble with a flat stone coping and reaches up to 2 metres in height along the front on the east side, becoming lower at the south-east corner where an ornamental pool breaks through. The ground is gently sloping, and the wall, which has a ditch on the outer side, separates the gardens from the parkland.
