Description

The revettment walls and circular steps to the wall fountain at Plas Brondanw Gardens are a notable feature of the landscape. The terrace is constructed of rubble and steps down from the upper garden level, featuring sweeping flights of slatestone steps arranged in a perron style that flank a circular pond and wall fountain. At the top, there is a fine decorative wrought-iron balustrade, while the steps are equipped with plain wrought-iron handrails, both adorned with urn finials. Behind the fountain, there is a putto wall mask.

On the left side of the steps, there are low flanking rubble walls that terminate in a square pier topped with a stone urn finial. On the right side, the wall is built in two stages and also steps down to terminate similarly, with a larger urn finial crowning the upper section. In front of the fountain, another splayed flight of steps descends to the level of the adjacent orangery, with low flanking revettments and wrought-iron handrails, consistent with those found elsewhere.
