Speke Hall, Garden & Estate 

Details
Bookmark

Speke Hall is one of the most famous Tudor manors in Britain and provides an ideal afternoons' escape from Liverpool. The atmospheric interior of this rambling house spans many periods. Being originally built in 1530, its Great Hall and priest hole date from Tudor times.

The property has fine Jacobean plasterwork and intricately carved furniture. A fully equipped Victorian kitchen and servants' hall enable visitors to see 'behind the scenes'.

  • The restored garden has spring bulbs, a rose garden, summer border and stream garden, and there are woodland walks and magnificent views of the Mersey basin and North Wales hills from The Bund, a high bank.

Further Information

Home Farm, a 5-minute walk from Speke Hall, is a model Victorian farm building, restored and part-adapted to provide a restaurant, shop and visitor facilities. It offers estate walks and a children's play area and orchard.
