The OS maps indicate that the main entrance to Laigh Borland was via the Sandy Ford lane that ran past North Borland and crossed the Glazert water.
A minor access branched off from the lane to Over Borland and ran down the steep lower slope of Borland Hill to enter close to the walled garden's south-eastern corner.
A footpath with a stile ran down from Over Borland to Laigh Borland.

In 1856 Laigh Borland was recorded as 'Borland' whilst Over Borland did carry the name is still has today.
The walled garden is shown with internal beds equally divided into four by paths with an entrance off Sandy Ford Lane.
A small structure stands at the front entrance of the walled garden.
A well is shown close to the old worker's cottages and another lies off the end of a well made path that extends towards the Glazert behind Borland House.
A lane or more likely a cart track runs from Borland and eventually joins the lane to Over Borland.
The land behind Borland is wooded with a rectangular open area.
The Sandy Ford appears to have stepping stones and provides the only vehicular access to Borland House.

In 1895 a small pond is located behind the north wall of the walled garden that no longer has a formal laid out interior.
A footbridge stands at the ford and a second path links what is now marked as Laigh Borland with the lane out towards Dunlop via the Straitbow Bridge.
Two small buildings stand against the walled garden, south and west walls.

The 1909 OS map shows a few changes in that the pond is not marked, only a single track runs up towards the Dunlop road via the Straitbow Bridge and the farm cottages have fenced or walled enclosures behind them.
A sundial is indicated as standing in the centre of the garden.

By 1957 Laigh Borland is not named separately and a road access has been constructed from Over Borland via the Middle Rig field and the worker's cottages have been demolished, no doubt supplying hard core for the new access.
The cottages were present in 1925.
