Royal Travel and Carriage Entrances in History

Carriage gates were designed wide and high to accommodate enclosed coaches and mounted escorts entering estate grounds. Traveling required heavy wooden trunks fitted with brass locks to secure belongings over long road journeys. Vines and climbing plants were frequently cultivated over gateway arches to soften stone castle exteriors.
