The most obvious structure in the park, other than the house, is a tower called the Cage which stands on a hill to the east of the approach road to the house ({{coord|53.34453|-2.05189}}). It was originally a hunting lodge and was later used as a park-keeper's cottage and as a lock-up for prisoners. The first structure on the site was built about 1580; this was taken down and rebuilt in 1737, possibly to a design by Leoni for Peter Legh&nbsp;X. The tower is built in buff sandstone [[rubble]] with [[ashlar]] sandstone dressings. It is square in plan, in three storeys, with attached small square towers surmounted by [[cupola]]s at the corners. The Cage is a Grade&nbsp;II* listed building.<ref>{{National Heritage List for England |num= 1277283|desc= The Cage, Lyme Handley|access-date= 4 August 2012|mode=cs2|fewer-links=yes}}</ref>  Also in the park is the Paddock Cottage which was erected by Peter Legh&nbsp;IX and restored in the early 21st&nbsp;century. To the east of this are the remains of the Stag House ({{coord|53.32211|-2.05374}}).{{sfn|Groves|2004|pp=50–57}}  To the left of the house in Lantern Wood is a [[Belvedere (structure)|belvedere]] known as the Lantern ({{coord|53.33842|-2.04333}}). It is built in sandstone and has three storeys and a spire; the lowest storey is square in plan while the other storeys and the spire are octagonal. The top storey and spire date from about 1580 and originally formed a [[bellcote]] on the north gatehouse; this was removed during the restoration of the house by Wyatt and rebuilt on the present site. It is a Grade&nbsp;II* listed building.<ref>{{National Heritage List for England |num= 1277282|desc= The Lantern, Lyme Handley|access-date= 4 August 2012|mode=cs2|fewer-links=yes}}</ref>

Immediately to the north-east of the house is the [[Orangery]] which was designed in 1862 by [[Alfred Darbyshire]].{{sfn|Hartwell|Hyde|Hubbard|Pevsner|2011|pp=440–446}}  The Orangery is joined to the house by a covered passage known as the Dark Passage. This was designed by Wyatt for Sir&nbsp;Thomas Legh in 1815 and is a Grade&nbsp;II listed building.<ref>{{National Heritage List for England |num= 1277338|desc= The Dark Passage, joining the Orangery to Lyme Park, Lyme Handley|access-date= 4 August 2012|mode=cs2|fewer-links=yes}}</ref>  Further from the house, to the north-east of the orangery, are the stables ({{coord|53.33912|-2.05283}}). These are dated 1863 and were also designed by Darbyshire. They are built in sandstone on a courtyard plan and are listed at Grade&nbsp;II.<ref>{{National Heritage List for England |num= 1232013|desc= The Stables at Lyme Park, Lyme Handley|access-date= 4 August 2012|mode=cs2|fewer-links=yes}}</ref>
