Ilam Hall stands at the centre of the Ilam Park Estate. Built in the 16th century the hall was owned by the Port family for over 200 years. It was sold in 1809 and then rebuilt between 1821 and 1826. It fell into disrepair and was partially demolished before being saved by Sir Robert McDougal in 1930. He gave it to the National Trust but requested that a section was used as a youth hostel.
Today you can stay at the hostel or visit the NT managed house and estate. There is a nice cafe on site and lots of great walks start here.

Wonderful tea rooms and a great sense of community. Also toilet facilities are available for public use. A donation at the bookshop or a purchase won’t got unappreciated.

Ilam Hall is both a youth hostel and a National Trust attraction. It is a great base to explore Dovedale from with convenient refreshment facilities for the start or end of the walk.
