Little Moreton Hall

Congleton, Cheshire, CW12 4SD

Website

There isn’t much we don’t love about this unique tumbling Tudor manor house, one of the great timber-framed surviving halls of the Tudor period.

There is always more to discover while exploring its fantastical inside and outside spaces. It has been said to defy all structural logic that it can still be standing with its crooked walls and wibbly wobbly floors.

Visiting Little Moreton Hall gives a rare opportunity to slow down a little together and to experience one of the best scenic moats and mounds for strolling and rolling around (but hopefully not into).
