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 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 geometric design of this maze-like garden was very fashionable when it was first created for Thomas Wentworth in 1713. But there’s a patriotic message here too: Thomas created the design to combine the crosses of St George and St Andrew, celebrating the union of Scotland and England in 1707. This union was a proud moment in Queen Anne’s reign, and so even after her death this garden stands as proof of his loyalty to her.
