Description

The terrace walls and fountain are part of the formal garden located to the northeast of Vaynol Hall. The garden is designed on sloping land directly east of the Hall and features a main path that runs along a central axis, intersecting with a secondary cross axis at an urn and ending at wrought iron gates. The main path includes two flights of steps, with the upper flight leading to a terrace that has a fish pond and a central cast iron fountain with three stages. Water flows from a circular stand supported by a putto, with swans positioned around the base. The garden is enclosed by stone balustrades, which create a wide apsidal lower end and define the upper terrace. Small urns are placed at intervals along the balustrades, with larger urns marking the termination points. The paths are edged with box hedges, and the lawns are shaped in bays for visual effect. At the top of the garden, there is a stone wall that features a bellcage gate.
