Dorfold Hall Tour & Gardens

Originally built in 1616, Dorfold Hall is an amazing brick and stone gabled, grade I listed, Jacobean house nestled in the Cheshire landscape. Oozing old English charm at every corner, it's a distinctive and fascinating country house to visit. 

Beyond the beauty of the main Hall, the elegant garden holds several hidden surprises – such as a magnificent chestnut tree believed to be over a thousand years old, and the last legacy of the original Delamere Forest. There are numerous traditional borders, secluded dells and woodlands to explore, not to mention uninterrupted views extending over the English countryside from the South Lawns which are breath-taking in every season.

Unfortunately, as a historic property, Dorfold was not designed with wheelchair users in mind. The Hall has many stairs and the garden has only a few paths. We do, however, have a disabled toilet outside the Hall by the Clocktower and a ramp which will enable access to the South Lawns.

Whilst we welcome dogs in the garden and grounds on a lead, they cannot be taken into the Hall itself. We kindly ask you to leave the gardens as beautiful as you find them for the enjoyment of all.

The Hall is accessible for guided tours only.
