Description
The boundary wall is built of uncoursed local limestone. It is approximately 3.2m high, and is capped with an oversailing stone-on-edge coping. The stones are laid alternately vertically and lengthways to produce a rugged effect sometimes known as "cock and hen" pattern. The wall included in this community extends from the King's Lodge to 29338 37718, where it passes into Llanddulas community, reduced in one place for the golf club, and from the King's Lodge along the A547 to 29283 37808, short of Hen Wrych farm lodge, this stretch reduced only in one place 100m W of the Kings Lodge to provide a secondary drive.
It is included as a vital element in the setting of the Grade I Gwrych Castle and is one of the few mostly complete park boundaries in Wales .
