Meanwhile at the top of the site, the existing visitor centre will be demolished and the concrete foundations removed. The green storage containers will be moved down to the bottom of the site for re-use. This work will create a path around the outside of the eastern spiral mount enabling visitors to follow the designed layout of the moated garden.
It will also open-up the intended views across the Northamptonshire countryside from the spiral mount, as well as the view looking towards the spiral mount, lodge and cottage from the north. We will retain as much of the current character of the cottage garden, creating a sheltered and enclosed resting place at the top of the site.
