Stone staircases lead down to the lower terrace which is laid out with fountains and raised flower beds with curved stone coping. To the side of the staircase there is a pair of 18th century stone sphinxes. The fountain in the foreground shows seated classical figures a second fountain is just visible to the right of the print. The terrace was designed by Charles Barry in the 1840s.
