Description

The fountain in the Venetian Garden at Kinmel is a circular structure with a diameter of approximately 15 meters, featuring a rolled stone margin. At its center is a marble fountain, likely of a later date, adorned with four shell bowls supported by crouching sea-horses. Above these, putti ride dolphins whose tails twist upwards to a shallow lead-lined bowl. The interior of the pond has a steep slope leading down to the center.
