National Trust - Gawthorpe Hall — Attraction in Burnley

Gawthorpe Hall is a beautiful Elizabethan country house set in 100 acres of parkland. The house was built in the early 1600s and is one of the finest examples of Elizabethan architecture in the north of England. The hall is now owned by the National Trust and is open to the public for tours.

The interior of the hall is just as impressive as the exterior. The rooms are decorated with fine furniture, tapestries, and paintings. There is also a collection of needlework, including a famous sampler made by Margaret Gawthorpe in 1616.

The grounds of Gawthorpe Hall are also worth exploring. There is a walled garden, a maze, and a natural play area. The grounds are also home to a variety of wildlife, including deer, pheasants, and ducks.

Gawthorpe Hall is a great place to visit for a day out. It is a beautiful and historic house with a fascinating history. The grounds are also a great place to relax and enjoy the outdoors.

Overall, I would highly recommend a visit to Gawthorpe Hall. It is a beautiful and historic house with a lot to...

Beautiful Elizabethan Manor set in fields and woodland, but surrounded on all sides by modern infrastructure, though none is visible from the Manor. Absolutely fascinating place, with many original features and an incredible history, expertly explained by the very knowledgeable staff who clearly love this place themselves. Picnics possible in the grounds, which is useful as there is no cafe on site. Beware, the long driveway from the road to the house is rough, potholed and in need of repair, and with a few rather nasty speed bumps. We parked nearby and walked in which was very pleasant and perfectly easy to do if the road is a worry, but please don't let that stop you from visiting this lovely place. It is owned and run by the National Trust, so there is a charge for entry into the property and one for parking,( members park and enter for free), but if you walk in, the grounds are free to...
