The Arley Estate
Owned by the same family for over 500 years, Arley is a delightful 2,000 acre estate and at its heart lies one of Cheshire’s most cherished stately homes and Gardens. The long ancestral history, with the family still living on the Estate today, gives Arley its own special ambience and unique nuances for visitors to enjoy and admire.

The Gardens at Arley
From the breath-taking double herbaceous border to the unique avenue of giant Ilex columns, the award winning Gardens are a wonderful exponent of the idea that the best gardens are living, changing works of art.

Arley Hall
Steeped in family history, the Hall (Grade II*) was built by the present Lord Ashbrook’s great, great grandfather, Rowland Egerton-Warburton between 1832 and 1842 and is a classic example of the Victorian Jacobean style.
