Description
The eastern wall of the rose garden at St Fagans Castle also serves as the eastern boundary wall of the castle grounds. It is constructed of stone and features an embattled parapet. This wall connects to the boundary wall to the south, which includes the main entrance to St Fagans Castle and continues southward to the entrance of the stables. To the north, the wall extends to the northern edge of the rose garden, located near the entrance to the grounds opposite the Plymouth Arms. At the northern end of the rose garden, the wall is about two feet thick and turns at a right angle for a short distance towards the west. In the southern section of the wall, there is a pair of exquisite wrought iron gates with an overthrow, likely of Italian craftsmanship and dating from around 1900, which feature a coronet and the motto 'Avise la fine'. On the west side of the gates, there is a flight of eleven shallow steps bordered by stone balustrades.
