Historical Tourism Destination open May to September, plus a Education, Wedding and Corporate Venue available for hire all year round.
Absolutely superb. For a family who appreciate a quieter day, without crowds, and with a mixture of inside and outside activity, this was perfect. The location is beautiful, and parking is delightfully easy. The entrance fee was minimal, and we were met by extremely friendly staff on arrival, who laid out a lovely plan for us for the afternoon (open 1330-1730 on day of visit). We visited the little play area and woodland tree face trail first, which were lovely, and the children had fun. Next was the caterpillar maze, which we all enjoyed. We wandered through the gardens back to the house for the Teddy bear trail, led by what we found out was a member of the family who lived in the house, and the visit was perfectly tailored to the little ones who loved it. We also had some injects for the adults, which were appreciated regarding history, and my wife was able to play the piano which was delightful. We then popped back outside for a fantastic bird of prey display. We completed the day with a cracking afternoon tea from the lovely little cafe, and another wander around the beautiful gardens. Overall, highly recommended and our favourite day trip of the holidays when coupled with a morning wander around Jenny Brown's Point and Jack Scout.
Had a lovely time walking around the grounds of Leighton Hall. A spectacular place that is definitely worth a visit, especially if you are a Sherlock Holmes fan! The staff were very welcoming and I also had a great chat with Suzie about Jeremy Brett and the filming of Sherlock Holmes at Leighton Hall. A very special place
Fabulous afternoon at Leighton Hall, started with excellent tour guide Pam and a house tour, then gardens at leisure, followed by the Birds of Prey experience, and finished with a delightful cream tea! Thanku Leighton Hall And a discount for those living locally Enjoy!
Fantastic House and Trees , Beautiful Walled Garden. House Magnificent you can tell it's a Well Loved Home, and the occupants love living there. The Lady of the house gave us A Wonderful Tour and lots of interesting information Thank You.
A beautiful estate. On arrival, the owner was very accommodating and made everyone feel welcome. The tour guide was very passionate about the history of the estate which made for an authentic experience. A great place to visit if you are looking for things to do in that area.
A great place to visit. I checked the dates of opening but forgot to check the time so was very early as it opens at 1:30, it didn't matter as I had time to wander around the beautiful gardens and take the woodland walk. After delicious coffee and cake in the sunny gardens I took the tour with Mary as the guide. She was so knowledgeable about the history and made it a really fascinating tour. I often go visiting halls and gardens and I think this one has the friendliest team I've met. I'd highly recommend it and it's a fabulous place to take kids as there are so many activities for them to do.
