National Trust - Rufford Old Hall - Lancashire -A fine Tudor house and colourful garden, home to five centuries of Lancashire and Hesketh family history
Book Now
View the Tudor Great Hall with its fantastic furniture, arms, armour, tapestries and the carved oak screen, a rare survivor from the 1500s. History springs to life in the Hesketh's dining room, its food-laden table, lit candles and 'fire in the hearth' waiting to welcome the family's dinner guests.
Theres reasonable evidence to suggest that Shakespeare could once have known Ruffords Great Hall for a few months whilst still in his teens. Ask us about the evidence and decide for yourself!
Then relax as you stroll through Rufford's Victorian and Edwardian gardens - and remember you're only a few feet (or metres) above sea level - making Rufford one of the lowest lying National Trust gardens in England.
Head to the rear of the black and white Tudor House, where youll find a peaceful calm to admire the beautiful trees, shrubs and plants on the South Lawn. Youll find towering pine trees, statues of Venus and the Dancing Faun and dont forget the Rose Garden, where theres always something magnificent to admire.
