RUFFORD OLD HALL with SPRING GARDENS and BLUEBELL WOODS A NATIONAL TRUST PROPERTY
Tuesday 7th May 2024
Rufford Old Hall at Rufford, Lancashire was built in
1530 for Sir Robert Hesketh. Only the Great Hall
survives from the original structure, a brick-built
wing in the Jacobean style was added in 1661,
at right angles to the Great Hall, and a third wing
was added in the 1820s . The beautiful Tudor
building is surrounded by Victorian and Edwardian
gardens and as you pass through the entrance
of the Hall, you will notice a colourful array of
springtime flowers coming into bloom. From
daffodils and crocuses, you can see the signs of
spring blooming all around you with a sparkling
sea of bluebells dotted all through the Hall’s North
Woods. The Victorian Tea Room offers a range of
hot and cold food, sandwiches, soups, snacks and
homemade cakes and bakes, as well as hot and cold drinks. There is only the second-hand book shop to browse. We continue to Ormskirk an historic Market Town in the heart of West Lancashire steeped in history and character. It offers excellent shopping with a mix of high street and independent retailers and a wide range of restaurants, cafes and pubs all in walking distance within a compact town centre.
