The serpentine water feature was added to create the illusion of a picturesque river when viewed from the house. However, most of the Serpentine no longer holds water due to past coal mining activity and requires significant investment over many years if it is to return to its former glories.

The Rotunda's construction began in 1739 and was completed three years later, although it had first been planned as far back as 1708. Modelled after an Ionic temple, Thomas had seen the Temple of Vesta at Tivoli during his grand tour and wanted to recreate something very similar at Wentworth. The interior of the Rotunda is a single room where the family would hold dinner and entertainments whilst beneath ground another room would allow servants to prepare refreshments, ensuring that guests were kept fed and watered despite being away from the main house. Sadly, as the centuries passed the Rotunda fell into a state of acute disrepair and was at risk of demolition. £280,000 later, the Rotunda was fully restored in 2010.

Named after the 1st Earl's head gardener, John Arnold, who planted and nurtured the site's Baroque landscape from the late 17th century until the 1740s.

An 18th-century, neo-classical garden structure built for the Second Earl of Strafford in 1766. While not a true temple, this prostyle temple features four Corinthian columns and was designed to complement the Palladian style of the main house. The temple overlooks the south lawn.

The Stainborough Castle folly is an 18th-century "sham ruin" built on the grounds of Wentworth Castle, to give the impression of ancient family history. Originally featuring four towers, only two remain after storm damage, and visitors can climb a spiral staircase. Beware of the dragon at the top!

The Wentworth Castle Sun Monument is a Grade II* listed obelisk, erected in the 18th century and dedicated to Lady Mary Wortley Montagu. The monument celebrates her pioneering introduction of smallpox inoculation to England from Turkey, making her the first non-royal woman in England to be honored with a landscape monument for her intellectual achievements.

The only Grade I listed parkland and gardens in South Yorkshire, Wentworth Castle Gardens is home to no fewer than 26 listed buildings and monuments. The estate was originally known as Stainborough Hall. Thomas Wentworth, the 1st Earl of Strafford, purchased it in 1708 and built a new house and gardens to rival the grandeur of his cousin's home, Wentworth Woodhouse.

The first record of a mill here dates back to the Doomsday book of 1086. Worsborough mill is still a working mill today set in the grounds of a reservoir and a 240-acre country park, a haven for wildlife. Enjoy a wander through its woodland and wetlands followed by some scrummy food in its tea room.

A nice simple walk around. Can get muddy in places after rain so worth doing in boots if the weather hasn't been great/in the more wintery months

The sculpture is inspired by the Worsbrough Wagonway (also called Coal Tramway) which extended from the canal head at Worsbrough, along the southern edge of the Reservoir. It serviced the coal and iron industries. Just below Rockley Old Hall was a junction with one branch going to Silkstone Main Colliery and the other to Pilley Hills Colliery and Ironstone mines. The earliest documentary evidence for the wagonway was in the Edmunds Estate Account, when in 1834 John Saville was paid seven pounds for loss of a strip of farming land along the edge of his field, for the tracks of the wagonway. John Saville was the Miller and Farmer at Worsbrough Mill.

The wooden ‘Millsong Bench’ is inspired by Anne Shaw, Mill Manger in the 18th Century and features the emotive words of Barnsley's Poet Laureate, Eloise Unerman. Eloise wrote the touching piece, which reflects the history of the area, and is carved into the bench for people to enjoy. Another of artist, Shane Green’s sculptures can be found in the Country Park and brings to life the stories of the Worsbrough Wagon Way, along with the people and industries it served.
