Something new for the cafe to do a Sunday lunch. It was lovely. Plenty of food. The wait was a bit long but they were busy. They were still serving from the usual menu. There is a fantastic view from the upstairs. As always the horses are the highlight.

Gawthorpe Hall

Gawthorpe Hall is a superb Jacobean historic house, nestled in the shadow of Pendle Hill, East Lancashire. Built between 1600 and 1605 for the Shuttleworth family it has an iconic and important role in the local area. On a visit you can see the original seventeenth century panelling and plasterwork in the Drawing Room; period Victorian rooms redesigned by Sir Charles Barry (architect of the Houses of Parliament) showing what life was like for the family in the 1890s and enjoy the splendour of the Long Gallery. The Hall also has fabulous furniture, paintings and the Gawthorpe Textile Collection displays on the first floor

Always walk around here.Lovely grounds which include a maze ,beautiful flowers,plenty of grass and even a ‘natural play area’ making it great for all ages! Can be enjoyed on a sunny or rainy day making it great for dog walkers or runners!It is very accessible as there is a car park with about a 3 minute walk to the hall ,or you could walk down the path from either the top or bottom entrance.Highly recommend!
