Description
The Walled Garden at Fordel Park dates back to the 18th century. It features a tall wall made of sandstone rubble with flat coping stones on top. In the southeast wall, there are square gatepiers topped with pyramidal coping stones. The wall has a swept design at the gatepiers and at the junction in the southwest corner. The original gates are no longer present. Additionally, remnants of shed walls can still be found in the northeast corner.
