This really caught my eye it was on the post at the start of the bridge which goes across the ha-ha. Which in the past prevented the cows getting too near to the big house.
BUT as my brother said”didn’t they just go across the bridge?” I don’t know the answer to that, the bridge looks relatively new.
@kvphoto A ha-ha is a type of sunken fence that was commonly used in landscaped gardens and parks in the eighteenth century. It involved digging a deep, dry ditch, the inner side of which would be built up to the level of the surrounding turf with either a dry-stone or brick wall.
Designed to keep grazing animals out of the more formal areas of a garden, the ha-ha does away with the need for a fence and creates the illusion of openness. It enables unbroken views from the house and garden to the parkland or countryside beyond.
