Gwrych Estate Boundary Wall to S side of Abergele Road

Long stretch of estate boundary wall, running alongside the road for roughly .5km. Of local limestone rubble construction. The wall begins at the junction between Abergele Road and Rhyd-y-Foel Road, curving around to follow the latter for some 12m; here it continues beyond a masonry break as a later rubble wall. The principal section bounds Abergele Road. At its beginning there is an inset sandstone milestone, with the much weathered inscription: '(?) - Llanddulas/ St. Asaph - Conway/ Chester - Bangor/ London - Ireland'. The wall is approximately 4.5m in height at this point and continues for some 25m before stepping down by one meter and continuing for another 25; in the centre of this last section is a pointed-arched entrance and a splayed 'arrow-slit' to the R. The wall steps down once more and runs for roughly 150m at a height of 2m; in the centre is a further blocked slit light. Then the wall steps up in 4 stages of 25m each before advancing slightly and continuing for a further 50m as a simply-crenellated wall. It terminates in a much-overgrown corner turret.
