Hoghton Tower

Hoghton Tower is one of Lancashire’s gems – come and find out why. A Tudor – Elizabethan manor and the ancestral home of the de Hoghton family, the Tower stands proudly on its hill overlooking the surrounding countryside. Join a guided house tour and go back to the 16th century following the steps of William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens and King James I who, at a banquet held in his honour, famously knighted a loin of beef 'Sir Loin'. Stroll through the beautiful walled gardens and take in the views of Lancashire, the Lake District and North Wales. Book an afternoon tea or just call in for lunch, coffee and cake to soak up some history! Private and School tours available year-round with prior arrangement.
