1. Part of an extensive wall around Vaynol Park, built between 1863 - 1870. Five entrances were built into the wall. Rubble stone wall of considerable height with a coping of rough slate slabs laid on edge. Wall terminates at tall gate piers at the two lodge entrances. Incorporated into the wall by the graving dock is a slate roofed boat store with double ledged doors, single door to left and boarded window.

2. This garden wall is depicted on the Second Edition Ordnance Survey 25-inch map of Anglesey XXIII, sheet 6. C.H. Nicholas, RCAHMW, 8th August 2006.

3. This wall encircles the entire park in a uniform style, but that section in question within the present National Trust property (not the entire former estate) follows the upper beach line of the estate where it borders the Menai Strait. There are very few gaps and these are reinforced with a possible removable grid where the canal passes through from the Limekiln in Limekiln Covert and by an iron grille in front of Bath Cottage to the north in Vaynol Wood. It is a very substantial wall about 0.8m thick and of varying height according to the topography, but nowhere less than 1.75m high. It is up to 3m high in some places. It is built of uncoursed stone very carefully fitted and topped by large slab-like pieces of slate set vertically and overhanging each side, both as an attractive feature and to deter climbing or animals from escaping. Indeed its main function may have been to enclose the herd of wild animals said to have been kept there (Beazley, 140), though the O.S. 6" 2nd edition map states 'Deer Park' in the appropriate area which in the event seems the more likely use. It was built between 1864 and 1867, at a cost of £25,098 16s 2d (Vaynol Papers 4939). Total length along Strait about 2,700m.
