A medieval fortress situated on a rocky outcrop overlooking the town of Runcorn, Cheshire, Halton Castle dates back to the 12th century. The castle's architecture is a mix of medieval and Tudor styles, with a curtain wall surrounding a central keep. Although it has undergone numerous restorations and renovations, the castle still retains many of its original features, including its imposing stone walls, towers, and battlements. Today, the castle is a popular tourist destination, offering stunning views of the surrounding countryside and hosting various cultural events and exhibitions throughout the year.
Lovely garden to visit, when they have their open day once a year.. Gorgiuos setting. Views and refreshments.
Went to open garden charity day in 2024.
A beautiful location well worth visiting on a day when the gardens are open to raise funds for charity
Please note: Halton Castle is privately owned and is a family home. The garden (but not the house) is opened to the public one Sunday a year, in the summer, in aid of the Red Cross or similar good cause. It is well worth visiting then, but don't just turn up expecting to be able to go round it!
It's a private dwelling now but it would be easy to miss. It looks amazing and was built near the site of a Roman fort. It's claimed that the castle was built using the stones from the Roman fort. it lies about a mile north of Aydon Castle, and just south of Hadrians Wall. The first recorded mention was in 1382. It's a private residence so please be respectful of the occupiers.
