Wentworth Woodhouse
- Vicinity: Wentworth Woodhouse
- As Noted In: English National Heritage Listed I, Historic England
This place is one of very few that I really like; the situation, woods, views, and the improvements are perfect in their kind; nobody has truer taste than Lord Straffort.... Now contrast all this, and you may have some idea of Lord Rockingham's. Imagine a most extensive and most beautiful modern front erected before the great Lord Strafford's old house, and front almost blocked up with hills, and everything unfinished round it, nay within it.... The park is traversed by a common road between two high hedges - not from necessity. Oh! No; this lord loves nothing but horses, and the enclosures for them take place of everything. Horace Walpole
