Walton Hall and Gardens

Once owned by the Greenall family, the famous brewers of Warrington, Walton’s gardens retain a fine collection of specimen trees and shrubs and an extensive display of rhododendron and azaleas in the early summer. The Hall was featured in the BBC production 'Our Zoo' where part of the grounds of hall was transformed to a penguin enclosure and aviary. With ornamental ponds, resplendent rose gardens, herbaceous borders and even a children’s zoo, Walton Hall is the perfect day out in Cheshire. The children's zoo opens daily at 10.30am and closes at 5pm in the summer and 4pm in the winter. Entry is free of charge.Feeding times are 2pm in the summer and 1pm in the winter. The Heritage Café is located in the heritage yard and serves a wide range of food and drinks, including a children’s menu.
