The Landscape
The designed landscape at Mavisbank has suffered from decades of neglect, The Mavisbank Trust plans to work in partnership with Historic Environment Scotland and The Landmark Trust to repair and restore the designed landscape to ensure its survival.
For decades access into the designed landscape has been either forbidden, advised against or been challenging. This is a public space and access to it by the local community and wider public should be easier. The Mavisbank Trust aim to ensure this happens.
The plans include:
- Securing suitable access into the policies
- Repairing and improving existing paths and creating new paths
- Woodland and horticultural management
- Repairing, stabilising and restoring landscape built heritage structures, within the Landscape:
- Doocot
- Canal/Pond
- Ice House and Game larder
- boundary walls
- retaining walls and the Ha Ha
- Encourage and support community engagement & involvement
