250 metres north-east of Rose Cottage, a former park-keeper's cottage near Severndroog Castle, a wide asphalted path called Stoney Alley passes the rear of some gardens that once belonged to Jackwood House. The house, now demolished, was originally called "Jack’s Wood House". Its name was later changed to "Mayfield House" and finally to "Jackwood House". Apparently Viscount Folkestone succeeded to the Earldom of Radnor during his tenure of Jackwood House, hence the Latin inscription on the basin of the non-functioning fountain seen on this terrace. It reads: "D.D. IACOBUS COMES DE RADNOR 1873". The rose gardens on the other side of the boundary wall ahead was well tended and the surrounding area also seemed well maintained in this otherwise 'wooded-and-grassed' area.
