Turton Tower is a Grade I-listed manor house that was built in the Middle Ages. It has seen many alterations and additions since its origin as a two-storey pele tower. Today, you can pay to visit and there's also a tea room, gift shop and adventure playground.

Grade I listed manor house built in the late Middle Ages. Appears not to be open to the public at the moment (due to the coronavirus), but if you are interested, turtontower.co.uk.

Road cycling

You can prop your bike up and walk around the outside of the medieval house for free and enjoy coffee and cake on one of the outdoor tables. Pretty place and worth a stop.
