Wall Attached To North West Of Heligan House

This late 18th- or early 19th-century wall forms a boundary between the garden and the stable yard. Constructed of slatestone rubble with granite dressings and piers, it stands approximately 1½ metres high and extends for about 50 metres in a serpentine pattern. The wall incorporates rubble pilasters at regular intervals and has chamfered granite coping. On the stable yard side, a semicircular granite trough is attached to the wall, alongside a flight of six granite steps with moulded treads, which create a mounting block alongside the gateway to the garden. That gateway is marked by a pair of square ashlar piers, approximately 1½ metres high, with pyramidal stone tops.
