I visited Berrington Hall recently with the intention of walking round the lake and taking photos. Unfortunately the path around the lake was closed for restoration work so I walked in the rest of the park and took photos of the ha-ha.
The top photo is a view of ha-ha from the front of the house. The ha-ha is barely visible.
A ha-ha is a type of sunken wall commonly used in landscaped parks and gardens in the eighteenth century. The point of the ha-ha was to give the viewer the illusion of an unbroken, continuous rolling lawn whilst providing boundaries for grazing livestock.
I’m sorry I’ve been a bit absent just lately. No particular reason, life just got in the way and when I get behind it always takes me a while to get back on track.
