"HA-HA" (landscape feature)
17 Answers
I have recently become fascinated by this landscaping feature.
It typically consists of a sudden sharp slope that meets with a vertical rise.
There is a road near Woolwich called "Ha Ha Road" and there are the remnants of the original ha ha nearby apparently. I wonder if it got its name from the results of hapless individuals stumbling into one. I also wonder how many there are in this country and if there is one near me (I live in SW London).
Any thoughts ?
