Gawthorpe Hall is a stunning structure with a rich history. It is sometimes referred to as the 'Downton of the North'. Although not as grand, Gawthorpe was redesigned by Sir Charles Barry (who also redesigned Highclere Castle, the filming location for ITV's Downton Abbey).
The grounds
We can take a leisurely stroll around the formal gardens with views of the river, or perhaps a short ramble through the woodland to enjoy the wildlife.
Gawthorpe Textile Collection
The Gawthorpe Textile Collection showcases the most extraordinary and intricate needlework, lace and costume amassed by Rachel Kay Shuttleworth as well as contemporary pieces from talented artists across the region. The team regularly host incredible events that support the collection.
The tea-room
After a visit to the property, we could stop by the tea-room and say hello to the friendly staff. We can choose from the selection of scrumptious sandwiches, cakes and scones plus hot and cold drinks. They also have a selection of second-hand books.
