Description

The entrance walls and two sets of piers, located 150 and 50 metres west of Welbeck Abbey, were built in the mid-19th century and are constructed from ashlar stone. The first pair of tall rusticated piers is set on shaped bases and features single columnae rostrata on both the east and west sides, which support copper lamps. The moulded coping of these piers is topped with single lion sculptures. Each pier is connected to a balustraded wall that runs in a curve for 22 metres before meeting a small rusticated pier, which also has a coping topped by a copper lamp. This wall continues at a right angle for another 15 metres, ending in a similar small pier. Additionally, 100 metres to the east, there is another pair of small piers aligned on the same axis.
