Sometimes they are even shaped as a Roman temple. Imitation ruins and even a grotto may be included in the garden landscape.
Other elements that may be included in the English garden as well include concrete brick pavers as well as interlocking pavers. They just need to fit in with the surroundings as well. Make sure the colors and the style are appropriate with the other elements you have in your English garden. If you choose to include vinyl fences, which are very durable, you will need to consider the style and color as well so that they look great with the garden.
