Description
The retaining wall to the lower terrace on the garden front of Eastnor Castle was built in the 1870s by G E Fox.

The wall stands approximately 5 to 8 meters high and features an embattled parapet. The junction of the two sides is distinguished by two large and one small projecting bastion.
