Naturalistic Japanese stroll garden constructed around 1910 for Lord and Lady Furness, including two ponds linked by a stream set within a ravine.

Kenwood House (later Hall) was built in 1844 for the wealthy cutler, George Wostenholm, as part of a wider development of this part of Sheffield. He engaged Robert Marnock of the nearby Sheffield Botanic Garden to lay out the grounds of the house and also plan the surrounding area that was to be developed for housing between 1851-3.

The hall is now run as a hotel but much of the original design is extant.

Picturesque 18th-century park with mature woodland, ornamental water, church and deserted village site.

The designed landscape around the early 17th century Kiplin Hall dates from the 1720s when it was bought by Christopher Crowe, although most of what we see today was created in the early 19th century by the Earl and Countess of Tyrconnel. Their successor, Admiral Carpenter, engaged the architect and landscape designer William Eden Nesfield between 1874 and 1880.

Kippax Park was an important designed landscape from at least the early 14th century. Its large enclosed park was leased by Thomas Bland in 1595 and he built a mansion on the site of the former hunting lodge. This would become the focus of the designed landscape that changed little over the next 300 years. The designer, Adam Mickle II, was asked to prepare an improvement plan in 1787 but there is little evidence that any of his ideas were carried out. In 1928, the hall was abandoned and finally demolished in 1955 to make way for open cast mining across its site and much of the former parkland. This has now returned to open fields and with some perimeter woodland, parts of the park wall and the walls of the former kitchen garden surviving.

Kirby Hall was built to designs by Lord Burlington and Roger Morris in 1746 for Stephen Thompson. The designer, Adam Mickle junior, was employed here in the early 1780s.

The Kirkby Hall estate lies on a large, open plateau overlooking the River Swale to the east. It comprised an 18th-century designed landscape with a long, narrow woodland terrace and garden buildings, landscape park, lake, stream and pleasure grounds, designed by its owner, William Aislabie of Studley Park.

Landscaped park, pleasure grounds and gardens for Kirklees Hall, the principal phase of development being the late C18, probably to a design by Richard Woods who had provided a plan in 1760.
