About Matterhorn

The Matterhorn is a mountain of the Alps, straddling the main watershed and border between Switzerland and Italy. It is a large, near-symmetric pyramidal peak in the extended Monte Rosa area of the Pennine Alps, whose summit is 4,478 metres (14,692 ft) above sea level, making it one of the highest summits in the Alps and Europe. Sometimes referred to as the "Mountain of Mountains", the Matterhorn has become an indelible emblem of Switzerland and of the Alps as a whole. It has also been described as the most beautiful mountain in the world and has been claimed to be the most photographed mountain in the world.

There is a model of the Matterhorn in the landscape garden at Friar Park, and it takes up lots of acres. It got really overgrown, and some nuns moved into it for a while.
