Holker Hall and Gardens

A true hidden gem of the North West, Holker Hall & Gardens offers a perfect day out for garden lovers, heritage seekers, and families alike.

One of Cumbria’s most captivating stately homes

Step into elegance, heritage, and natural beauty at Holker Hall & Gardens. Set in 200 acres of idyllic parkland on the edge of the Lake District, Holker Hall has been the home of the Cavendish family for centuries and remains privately owned and lovingly maintained.

Visitors can explore the beautifully preserved Victorian stately home, which is filled with fine art, antique furniture, and rich family history. The award-winning gardens span 25 acres and offer a magical mix of formal borders, wildflower meadows, and ancient trees, providing a changing tapestry of colour throughout the seasons. Among the highlights are the magnificent Holker Great Lime Tree and the tranquil Cascade Waterfall. Beyond the gardens, the surrounding deer park and peaceful woodlands invite gentle walks and quiet reflection.

After exploring, guests can enjoy locally sourced food and drink at the Courtyard Café. The food hall and gift shop offer a selection of artisan goods and produce, perfect for taking a piece of Holker home. On sunny days, the immaculate lawns provide the ideal setting for a relaxing picnic.
