Walton Hall Gardens information
The perfect place to explore the history of the Walton Estate and Greenall family along with Lewis Carroll and his connections with Walton Hall.
Explore extensive lawns, ornamental gardens, woodland trails and children's zoo. Many paths are accessible to wheelchair users.
Walton Hall Gardens was originally part of a much larger country estate, purchased in 1812 by the Greenall family, famous for their success in the brewing industry. The park has been enjoyed by the public as a park since 1945.
The hall was built in Elizabethan style during the 1830s. In the 1970s it was renovated after many years of disuse. Extensive refurbishments took place, retaining much of its Victoria character.
One of the most popular attractions - the Children's Zoo boasts a colourful array of birds and animals. Feeding time is 2pm in summer and 1pm in winter. The zoo runs an animal adoption scheme.
How to get there
Two miles south of Warrington on the A56. Two miles north of Junction 11 on the M56. Follow the brown tourist destination signs.
