Quarry Garden At Belsay Castle
description: The Quarry Garden is of a unique shape. As one walks through it, there are walls of stone stretching high above the visitor. Between these stone walls and the path are a variety of plants and greenery, giving life and color to the otherwise darker parts of the garden. Between two rock walls, a stone archway was constructed. This addition of artificial environment to the natural environment is a key factor of Georgian style gardens. This garden is a place of quiet reflection and symbolic meaning, adding to the movement, sight, and sound that one might experience as they travel through its corridors.
