The Hermitage was built as part of the grand garden re-design that started in 1758. Sir Nathanial Curzon who owned the house at the time drastically changed the formal gardens to the rolling landscape you see today. This included the long walk and several points of interest to stop at or admire on the way.
It's recently been restored by the National Trust.

In all truth, this building is a mystery to me, however I always refer to it as "the hobbit house"
