Set in magnificent grounds, situated 650ft above sea level and approached by a steep, straight 0.75 mile long drive is Hoghton Tower, a 16th-century Elizabethan fortified manor-house. The ancestral home of the de Hoghton family, Hoghton Tower has been a part of Lancashire’s landscape since 1565. Join a guided tour of the panelled state rooms to hear about the history of the house, the family and the distinguished guests who have enjoyed the Tower over the centuries.
Stroll through the beautiful walled gardens and take in the views. Kids will love the underground passages, the ramparts and dungeons. Browse in the gift shop and finish your day out in the tea room. Private tours and School tours available throughout the year with prior appointment.
