Leighton Hall
The award-winning Leighton Hall is the home of the world-famous furniture making Gillow family. This historic house, with its Gothic towers, is open to the public from May to September. Unusually for such a building, Leighton Hall has no roped-off areas and visitors are free to wander and even sit on the furniture while being shown around by one of their enthusiastic guides.
Additionally, Leighton Hall also offers:
- Daily displays of trained birds of prey
- 1,550 acres of landscaped parkland and woodland walks to explore
- Children’s play area and tea rooms
Leighton Hall is located about 7 miles north of Lancaster, just off junction 35 of the M6 motorway.
