Discover Walton Hall and Gardens, the former home of Lord and Lady Daresbury and one of Warrington’s most loved visitor destinations. Set within acres of beautiful parkland and historic gardens, it’s a place where families, friends and generations of visitors come together to explore, relax and create lasting memories.





Free to visit and open all year round, Walton Hall and Gardens offers something for everyone, whatever the season. Meet the animals in our Children’s Zoo, enjoy peaceful woodland and orchard walks, explore colourful gardens, or let little adventurers burn off energy in our fully accessible playground.

Animal Adoption

We invest your adoption money into ‘luxury’ items for the Children’s Zoo – particularly things we wouldn’t usually be able to afford. Your kind donations have provided shelter for the alpacas, Herdwick sheep and ornamental waterfowl. We’ve also purchased squirrel sheds, an incubator, rugs and a harness for the donkeys, as well as a set of ornamental entrance gates. The lovebird aviary, feeding troughs and veterinary scales are all further proof of your outstanding generosity. Our animals salute you.
