Stroll around a stunning medieval stately home...

Situated in Samlesbury, Preston, Samlesbury Hall is a haven for history lovers.

The stately home's history dates all the way back to 1185, with the first recorded lord of Samlesbury, Cospatric de Samlesbury, living in the Lower Hall area. From thereon Samlesbury Hall has gathered a rich and fascinating history, including that of ghosts and witches.
