Smaller than Chatsworth House or Tatton Park situated just to the north of Greater Manchester the National Trust describes Gawthorpe Hall as an Elizabethan gem in the heart of industrial Lancashire and given its state of complete repair and history stretching back to the English Civil war the description is justly deserved.
The house is full of antique artifacts on display in the hall's many sumptuous rooms preserved and cared for by the curators who attend each room to provide tourists with a commentary of what they are seeing.
From the outside the complete hall makes a perfect photographic subject set in a small woodland which in the Autumn months provides a glow which bathes the hall itself in golden light.
Gawthorpe Hall was owned by the Kay-Shuttleworth family from its construction until 1970.
A tea room within the grounds offer refreshments for the weary visitor.
