Bramham Park’s white fences and gates are part of its classical 18th-century landscape design, serving both aesthetic and practical purposes. They reflect the estate’s long-standing emphasis on symmetry, visibility, and controlled access across its formal parkland. White paint enhances visibility against the green parkland and wooded areas, emphasizing boundaries without disrupting the visual flow of the landscape
