Cadw's description
Location
Near the site of the old Golden Grove mansion, about 300m south of the North Lodge, extending from near Garden Cottage to near Eagle Lodge
History
Probably late C18, contemporary with the second Golden Grove mansion of the Vaughan family (which was built c1755). The wall runs east and south-east from the site of mansion to near the old line of the turnpike road, and formed the north side of the gardens.
Exterior
Part rubble masonry, part brickwork wall approximately 4-5m in height as surviving, about 0.6m in thickness. A gateway (dated 1854) has been formed at the west end for access to Garden Cottage.
Reason for designation
The last substantial survival of the environs of the Golden Grove of the Vaughan era.
