The Naunton Dovecote is an outstanding example of a 16th or 17th-century dovecote standing in an idyllic location beside the River Windrush. The dovecote originally featured 1,175 nesting boxes but only some 900 are still active. Also on the site are a derelict turbine house and a water leat from when the dovecote served as a grain mill.

The oldest stone single-span bridge in England, designed by Thomas Telford in 1825 to replace a Tudor bridge, spanning the River Severn on the main western approach to Gloucester. Telford's first design was a cast-iron bridge, but the city council thought it not dignified enough. The stone replacement served for over 140 years before it was replaced by a modern road bridge.

A historic watermill on the River Isbourne, directly beside Stanway Manor and Water Garden. There has been a mill on the site since at least the late 13th century when the Abbey of Tewkesbury owned Stanway Manor. The mill has been totally restored to working order and you can watch fresh wholemeal flour being ground.

A peculiar decagonal gazebo dating in part to the 14th century. Tradition says the King's Board was given to the city of Gloucester by Richard II. It was probably used as a preaching cross or coin exchange, but later became a Tudor butter market and even later a conduit house.
