"Enjoy tasty delights while visiting the Great Hall"
Overview
Samlesbury Hall is a magnificent medieval timber framed house, dating back to 1325. Open all year round, entry to the Hall and grounds is free and there are also free guided tours on most Sundays. See hidden priest holes in the historic rooms, or take the children on a fairy door hunt in the beautiful gardens. Enjoy afternoon tea by the courtyard fountain in summer, or a warming mulled wine by the fires in winter.

About the area
Lancashire was at the centre of the British cotton industry in the 19th century, which lead to the urbanization of great tracts of the area. The cotton boom came and went, but the industrial profile remains.
