Description

The ha-ha wall to the north of Ripley Castle is a structure likely built in the late 18th century for Sir John Ingilby. It is made of coursed grey gritstone and stands approximately 6 to 8 courses high, featuring projecting flat coping stones. The wall stretches for about 600 metres, with its southern end ending at the boathouse and the northern end terminating at a gateway located approximately 100 metres southeast of Scarah Farm. This wall serves to separate the deer park from the gardens and arboretum, which were redesigned in the early 19th century, but it follows the line of an earlier boundary that is depicted on an estate map from 1807.
