Walton Hall is a country house in Walton, Warrington, Cheshire. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. The hall and its surrounding garden and grounds are owned and administered by Warrington Borough Council and open to the public. Sir Gilbert Greenall (1806–1894) built Walton Hall in 1836. He was the son of Edward Greenall (1758–1835) who had purchased the Walton Estate in 1812. At this time there was an old hall on the property north east of the present building which has since been demolished. When his father died in 1835, Gilbert inherited the Walton Estate. In the following year he married Mary Claughton. In this year also he commenced building Walton Hall, a project which took two years. He was a partner in his long established family brewing firm of Greenall Whitley & Company with his brothers and made a large fortune. He invested his money in property and became part of the landed gentry. He became a Member of Parliament from 1847 until 1892 representing Warrington. He was also High Sheriff of Cheshire in 1873 and was a Justice of the Peace. He was a personal friend of Lewis Carroll whose father was the vicar in the nearby Church at Daresbury. He visited Carroll when he was at Oxford University and Carroll visited him at Walton Hall. A photo was taken by Carroll of the Hall in 1859 when he was there. Source: Wikipedia

Beautiful in all seasons. Small woodland which is separated by a road but linked by a bridge which you can walk under if you have your wellies. Fantastic off the lead, lots of things for the kids to get stuck into, rope swings etc, but for our four legged family members just a brilliant place for them to roam around.

The Green has an orchard, including a number of apple trees. There is also a selection of picnic tables which were installed in 2015.

Ancient semi natural woodland with a mix of conifers and mature beech trees.

Great tearoom and quaint village. Nice stroll round the reservoir (about 30 minutes).
