As important as Downton in England and Hafod in Wales, Piercefield is one of the most outstanding examples of 18th century picturesque and sublime landscapes in Britain. It is a Grade 1 Registered Historic Park and Garden. Four of the viewpoints are scheduled monuments and Piercefield House is a listed building. Over the years many features had fallen into a serious state of disrepair and were unsafe. Some of these structures and viewpoints were conserved in 2010 as part of a Heritage Lottery Fund Landscape Partnership Scheme called Overlooking The Wye.
