Ha-ha

Danbury Park has been a feature of the Essex landscape for over 700 years. It was a typical medieval deer park: roughly rectangular with curved corners- an efficient shape for fencing. It had water, grassland,and wooded areas. It was stocked with fallow deer which would have grazed under trees that were by then already ancient





What is a Ha-ha?

They are quirky walls built in the 17th and 18th Century on country estates of the landed gentry. Ha-ha walls typically formed a boundary between the estate's gardens and grounds. These walls were constructed so as to be invisible from the house, ensuring a clear view across the estate. Ha-ha walls consist of a sunken stone wall-its top level with the garden, with a deep ditch on the far side: an effective barrier to livestock.

The Ha-ha at Danbury is unusual because of the way it leads right into the lower lake as a wall.
