Wood carvings
Discover the elephant, bear and tiger wood carvings as well as the famous Cliveden snails ornately crafted by local woodcarver Nick Garnett. These wooden snails, carved using a chainsaw, depict the tiny ‘papillifera papillaris’ snail living in the Borghese Balustrade. The snails were ‘imported’ from Rome in 1896, with the 100ft (30m) marble balustrade that now runs along the top of the Parterre. Common around the Mediterranean, these snails are one of the only sightings of this species in the UK.

I believe this is on the grounds of a National Trust site and therefore is not free to the general public.
