incidents in the foliage or view from the road. A series of drives and roads within the estate edged by c.1m tall crenellated rubble stone walls approach the main house via the Turkish Bath (western driveway), and more indirectly via a southern driveway which winds around the brow of the hilltop past stables, old Wynstay, the cottage and Gate House. Plantings define field edges and garden "rooms" within this large area, in a most picturesque composition, no doubt deliberately intended to display Wynne's wealth and taste. Elements of the estate include grazing fields, inner and outer garden areas, paved "courtyard" spaces both near the house and further out (south) in the garden, linking paths between buildings, and a more recent service and propagation area of polythene tube or tunnel houses east of the main house and on a lower terrace.
