Description

The ha-ha located approximately 50 metres to the south of Sandbeck Park is a Grade II listed feature, dating from around 1771 to 1773. It was likely designed by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown for the Earl of Scarbrough. The structure is made of coursed magnesian limestone rubble and consists of a dry-stone retaining wall that is capped by an overhanging course. This wall serves as a division between the parkland and the gardens of Sandbeck Park and extends eastward from a point about 80 metres south of the house. Historical records indicate that much of the construction work on ha-has around the house took place during the years 1771 to 1773.
