Hopwood Hall was founded as a moated site. Later, the property had pleasure grounds and an extensive park with scattered woods. Features in the grounds included a kitchen garden, ice house, ha-ha, Italian garden, fountain, corn mill and small cross-shaped bower or grotto. Hopwood Hall also gives its name to an electoral ward in the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale, and to Hopwood Hall College, a further education college with a campus within the original estate grounds.
