Cadw's description
Location
Just south of the Stable Block and part of the important group of estate buildings surrounding Insole Court.
History
This feature was described in the Gardener's Chronicle in 1882 when it must have been fairly recently constructed.
Exterior
Romantic Victorian garden feature formed of natural sandstone rocks piled artfully to create a dark archway and give a dramatic appearance in the garden.
Reason for designation
Included for group value as part of the garden and estate buildings of a significant Victorian mansion with a chequered history.
