Leighton Hall

Leighton Hall is the lived-in home of the famous Gillow furniture making dynasty. A visit to Leighton is an opportunity to unravel the fascinating past of this ancient, Lancashire family, to wander through the pretty gardens and woodland walk and to witness breath taking displays from birds of prey (Summer season – 3:30pm). As well as the house, grounds and charming tea rooms, Leighton has a children’s play area with brass rubbings, bee corner, insect hotel, tree face trail and caterpillar maze. In August there’s a free Teddy Bear Hunt. Finish your day with a visit Leighton’s charming tearooms. Visitors are welcomed at the front door by friendly and entertaining guides, and tours are informal with guests encouraged to sit on the furniture, touch things and really get involved. Open May – September 1:30pm – 5:30pm Check website for details. Tickets can be booked in advance online at www.leightonhall.co.uk
