Ha-ha, a hidden gem in landscapes past and present. From the elegant Orangery and ha-ha at Lord Burlingtons Villa (Belmont 33248_001), to Thomas Mawsons cross-sections revealing their secrets, ha-ha walls have graced gardens in England since antiquity. Delve into the history of Somerhill, near Tunbridge, Kent (Edward Hasted's The History), or marvel at Balthasar Nebots gardens of Hartwell House, Aylesbury. Across the Atlantic, Ha-Ha Bay in Canada's Lower St. Lawrence and Saguenay regions (nineteenth century engravings) echoes the European tradition. Ha-ha, a timeless element of beauty and mystery in the art of landscape design.
