Kedleston Hall Derbyshire
Designed in the 1750s by famed architect Robert Adam for the Curzon family, who had resided at Kedleston since the 12th century.
The sharp drop from the end of the lawn is a design feature that would not (most likely) originally have been fenced. It is called a 'Ha-Ha' and was intended to exclude and conceal sheep, cattle and peasants from the gaze of those enjoy the vista from the house.
