Parkland

The Hall in summer with flowers in the garden

Towneley Hall sits in an extensive historic parkland landscape of formal gardens, woodland walks, sculpture and nature trails.

In spring the woodlands are filled with displays of bluebells and wild garlic, which are followed by spectacular rhododendrons in the early summer and brilliant autumn foliage.

An extensive network of well signed paths and nature trails allows you to explore Towneley’s historic landscape.

A large adventure playground provides endless fun for children and there are good facilities for picnics by the river with a refreshment kiosk serving fresh coffee and snacks.
