. Gardens for small country houses . Gardens, English. Introduction. FIG. XV.—SECTION AT N—N. FIG. XIV.—MARKYATE CELL: SECTION OF GARDEN AT M—M (SEE PLAN) interesting by a pair of leaden peacocks. Above the rose garden is a final terrace, from which delightful views are secured over the whole estate. The obvious method of giving access to it would have been by providing another flight of steps on the main axial line, but the obvious in garden design is often dreary. Considerable variety has been achieved by providing a series of steps, curved on plan, which wind from the south-east corner of the rose garden round to the upper terrace (shown in Figs. xvi. and xvii.). These notes, taken in conjunction with the plan and photographs, explain how the garden was treated from west to east, but it was felt that a sense of breadth was also needed, and its provision has brought with it that valuable quality in garden.
