Acklam Hall A magnificent avenue of trees, one kilometre long leading to the Grade 1 listed Acklam Hall built by Sir William Hustler around 1680. The house has notable interior joinery and plasterwork, which have somehow survived its latter 20th-century life as a school. It is now a business centre, wedding venue and restaurant.
