About this activity

Hoghton Tower sits at the top of a mile long drive surrounded by gardens and grounds and is perfect day out for the whole family. You can take in the beauty and history of the tower as history is brought to life right in front of your eyes!

You'll discover thousands of years of history with underground passages and walled-gardens. Walk in the footsteps od kings and queens and admire the views. You can head on a tower tour and walk in the footsteps of Shakespeare, Dickens and many more!

The guides will tell you stories along the way and even Peaky Blinders scenes were played out here! You can also opt for the outside tour which explores the architecture, railways and more all in detail. 

Outside in the gardens is a delight too! It's filled with lush lawns, borders and flowers and a narrow doorway leads t the rose garden which will dazzle the senses! There are points that offer views over the countryside to the Irish Sea in the distance too. 

They are a range of family events throughout the year including spooky trails, seasonal trails and family theatre too. Explore the secret passages and dungeons and hear tales of famous visitors.
