Retaining wall to terrace south of The Loggia and attached steps and piers

The structure is a retaining wall with attached steps and piers located south of The Loggia, dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed of ashlar stone featuring herringbone tooling and smooth-faced ashlar coping. The wall measures approximately 137 meters in length. The eastern portion has a wavy top and includes two pairs of square-section panelled piers, while the western section features a pair of panelled piers and a pointed arch doorway. This doorway leads to a flight of steps that ascends to the terrace in front of The Loggia. This retaining wall is part of the significant garden layout at Alton Towers, which is registered as Grade I on the Historic Buildings and Monuments Commission Garden Register.
