Along a neglected sight line On the Blickling Estate the sight line should connect the pyramid mausoleum with the hall.
Behind the camera is a relatively good avenue cut through Great Wood, but the view forward does not have a definite avenue of trees but some of the hall turrets can be made out in the distance.
