Adlington Hall Information
Adlington Hall is one of the most beautiful country homes in the United Kingdom, with a lineage dating back almost seven centuries. It enjoys a secluded and prestigious setting in the heart of the Cheshire countryside.
The historic property forms part of the 2000 acre Adlington Estate dating back to 1315. Facing the black and white wing of the Hall is The Hunting Lodge, a first floor banqueting suite forming part of the beautifully converted Georgian Mews.
Since the year 1315 it has been home to the Legh family. One of the oldest and most historic Cheshire houses it has evolved over 700 years, the east and west wings being demolished in 1928, giving the Hall its present rectangular shape. Throughout these extensions and restorations the Legh family mainly used local craftsmen and materials produced either on the estate or locally.
The 2,000 acre Estate contains parkland landscaped in the 18th century in the style of 'Capability Brown’ complete with a ha-ha.The Lime Avenue dating from 1688 leads to a woodland Wilderness with winding paths, temples, bridges and follies in a rococo manner. A path through the laburnum Arcade leads into the formal Rose Garden, then on to the Maze created in English Yew. The Father Tiber water garden provides a peaceful haven with its ponds, fountains and water cascade and the newly created parterre provides a colourful addition to the east wing.
Other features include a large herbaceous border, rockeries, specimen trees, azaleas and rhododendrons.
