| Mark Evans explained " The access to the park is essentially one way and generally good will between drivers avoids it getting blocked but if there is a stand off the road could get blocked." I did a quick recce inside the NW corner of the park this morning, - the other side of the high wall* to your left going in. The first 50 yards or so, belongs to the park and at present is planted with bluebells etc and is fenced off with a wattle fence and plastic. After 50 yards there is a lower wall at an angle the area behind that being assigned to Capel Manor. There are two very large trees approx 15ft from the wall which would still allow another carriageway to run in parallel with the present one IMO. Quite what's behind the lower wall on the Capel Manor side isn't clear from Google Maps satellite view but it seems there's nothing substantial. As it is, it seems quite possible to replace the high wall with a lower one about 15ft to the right allowing a two lane entrance which would need to veer to the right once it had actually entered the park. michael adams *There is a substantial crack in that wall which I've tried unsuccessfully to bring to people's attention in the past. However checking from the other side this morning. its positioned around where the lower wall abutts it, from inside. So its possibly not as dangerous as I thought |
