National Trust – Gawthorpe Hall
Elizabethan house with Victorian makeover and Brontë links houses portrait and textile collections. In 1947, Colonel Austin Townsend Porritt gave The Stubbins Estate to the National Trust. This included 436 acres of farmland and a small portion of Holcombe Moor for public access and pleasure. This walk circles part of the Stubbins Estate. It is just under 2 miles or 3 km in length and although it covers rough terrain is achievable in an hour. Attention wild explorers. Are you ready to listen to the usually unnoticed inhabitants of Gawthorpe Hall’s garden and woodland, feel the textures of nature and see mini beasts in their natural habitats? If YES, then ‘let’s go’
