Serpentine Bridge

The Serpentine River is (or was as it is now almost dry) a serpentine water feature comprising a series of ponds running south to north on the east side of the parkland. Its construction was by the First Earl of Strafford (1738). The Serpentine Bridge was built by the Second Earl in 1758 on the line of the tree lined drive up to the house from the Strafford Gate which provided the main access from the north. It is listed Grade II.
