Description

The walls and gate piers of the Venetian Garden at Kinmel date from the 19th century. They are constructed of seven courses of red brick set on a stone plinth, topped with a moulded stone coping, reaching a total height of approximately 90 centimeters. The gate and gate piers are aligned along the long axis, featuring alternating courses of brick and stone, and are finished with ball finials. There are three sets of steps along the same axis, which connect the side terraces to the sunken area of the garden.
