Walled Garden at Picton Castle

The Walled Garden at Picton Castle is a formal garden measuring approximately 100 meters east to west and 40 meters north to south. The main architectural feature is a striking set of cast-iron railings and large double gates that span the entire eastern side of the garden, designed in a uniform style. The gates are centrally positioned and are hung from rendered brickwork piers topped with projecting cornices and pineapple finials.

The cast-iron gates feature a cresting at the top with alternating tall and short decorative elements. At the mid-height of the gates, there are five tall loops that appear to be linked by straps to circles above and below. The base of the gates includes a panel of five squares with quadrants. The railings flanking the gates are arranged in bays between taller standards and rest on a high plinth wall, with the ironwork detailing matching that of the upper half of the gates.

To the north, the garden was originally lined with greenhouses, which have since been demolished, leaving only remnants of the plinth walls at the front. The northern wall is constructed of brickwork with concrete copings, while the western and southern walls are made of stone.
