HUNTING TOWER
|
Here is a better view of Edensor, Note the graveyard to the left of the Church where the Devonshires are buried |
Here is the said Hunting Tower, Built in 1560 and in pretty good condition considering the weather it gets up here |
A closer look |
Once at the top of the hill we get some delightful walks like this |
In the woods on this hilltop are two lakes which power the water features in the gardens, this saucer shaped rock is the beginning of the long journey down |
This viaduct is halfway down the hillside below the previous image |
Just to put things in perspective |
Here is the Emperor Lake which feeds the Emperor Fountain |
And this is the Emperor Fountain, fed entirely by natural water pressure from the lake, It is the second highest natural fountain in the world and was created for the coming visit of Zsar Nicholas II who unfortunately met a sticky end before he saw it. |
