Description

The Ha-Ha located about 45 metres southeast of Goodnestone Park is a Grade II listed structure dating from around 1840. It is constructed of red brick with ashlar stone dressings. The wall stands approximately six feet high on the park side and extends about 60 metres in length. It features a moulded stone coping that creates a low wall on the garden side. Along the length of the wall, there are brick buttresses, which are sometimes grouped and sometimes single. At each end of the wall, small pavilions with gates are present, featuring quoined surrounds and heavy stone pediments and blocks above. The wall curves back at both ends around the pavilions towards the house.
