Walled Garden at Picton Castle

A formal walled garden about 100 m E/W and 40 m N/S. The main architectural feature is a fine set of cast-iron railings and large double gates, occupying the whole of the E side. They are in a uniform style. The gates, centrally, are hung from rendered brickwork piers; they have projecting cornices with pineapple finials.

The gates and railings are of cast-iron. At the top a cresting of alternating tall and short decorative features. Mid height bar of the gates crossed by five tall loops linked as if by straps to circles above and beneath. At the foot a panel of five squares with quadrants. The railings on either side of the gates are in bays between taller standards, and stand on a high plinth wall. The ironwork is detailed similarly to the upper half of the gates.

The N side was occupied for its full length by greenhouses, now demolished apart from remains of the plinth walls at front. The N wall is of brickwork with concrete copings. The W and S walls are of stone.
