Description

The gates, gatepiers, and steps located 50 meters northeast of the Orangery at Plas Brondanw Gardens are notable features. They consist of tall, square rubble piers topped with moulded sandstone caps and sandstone ball finials. The wrought-iron half-gates are elegantly designed with serpentine tops and scrolled decorations. Beyond the gates, facing northwest, there is a flight of six semi-circular slate steps. Further along, there is a small, plain vista screen made of rendered brick piers, with cement-stone finials and a simple wrought-iron balustrade.
