Monolithic Stone Arch, Falmouth by Rod Johnson

Monolithic Stone Arch, Falmouth

The monolithic stone arch pictured here, is just one of the many interesting features to be found in the Gyllyngdune Gardens at Falmouth in Cornwall, England. The tall flat-topped arch was erected on the high ground which overlooks Falmouth Bay. Little is known about the arch but it is likely that it was cut from a quarry which is now the lower part of the garden and it may have been erected some time after 1837 when the house was competed and before 1907 when the gardens were opened to the public.
