Holker Hall & Gardens is the much-loved home of the Cavendish family, and has been in the family since it was built in the early 1600’s. The new wing was re-built in the 1870’s following a fire, and is now open to visitors.
There are no ropes or barriers, visitors are welcome to wander the rooms at their leisure. The award-winning gardens display a wonderful collection of trees, shrubs and flowers, and offer inspiration throughout the year.
The gardens have developed through the centuries, from the 400 year old Great Holker Lime tree, to the Cascade and Burlington fountain, Pagan Grove, and the Labyrinth sited in the wild flower meadow.
Nearby is a unique sundial, looking out over acres of rolling parkland where a herd of Menil Fallow Deer graze.
