Terrace Walk at Leighton Hall

Terrace walk extending along N front of Leighton Hall and continuing on E side as far as steps immediately in front of entrance to Leighton Hall Tower. Of coursed, rock-faced Cefn stone with ashlar dressings. Along the N front of Hall it consists of a low retaining wall with ramped coping and curved steps to W, straight steps to E (matching the bow and bay windows respectively of the Hall). The terrace terminates in a N-S wall to W, with a tall octagonal pier which has a frieze of blank shields below battlements. The N-S wall returns again to the Hall with an embattled doorway. At the NE corner is another flight of steps where the terrace wall returns S and continues, stepping out to follow the plan of the Hall, to the steps beside the Tower.
