The Hoyland Lowe Stand
Image: © Jonathan Clitheroe Taken: 12 Jul 2008
18th Century folly built by the Marquis of Rockingham and likely to have been originally conceived as a hunting lodge. Situated a good 3 miles from Wentworth Woodhouse it would have probably have been overlooked by the estate in favour of nearer amenities and today the stand is in a fairly advanced state of decay. Originally a two storey structure, the top part of the winding staircase to the viewing platform can still be seen from inside the building.
