Lower Huxley Hall is a historic manor house located in the picturesque village of Lower Huxley in Cheshire, England. This magnificent Grade II listed building is a prominent heritage site that showcases the architectural and cultural history of the region.

The hall dates back to the 17th century and was originally built in a traditional Jacobean style. It has undergone several renovations and additions over the years, resulting in a unique blend of architectural influences, including Georgian and Victorian elements. The exterior of the building features a stunning red brick façade with intricate stone detailing, while the interior boasts grand rooms with ornate plasterwork, elegant fireplaces, and beautifully carved wooden paneling.

Surrounded by well-manicured gardens and sprawling grounds, Lower Huxley Hall offers visitors a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the English gentry. The estate is home to a number of outbuildings, including a coach house and stables, which have been preserved to maintain the historical integrity of the property.

Today, Lower Huxley Hall serves as a private residence, but it occasionally opens its doors to the public for special events and guided tours. Visitors can explore the grand reception rooms, stroll through the picturesque gardens, and learn about the fascinating history of the hall and its previous occupants.

Lower Huxley Hall stands as a testament to the rich heritage of Cheshire and offers a captivating experience for history enthusiasts and architectural admirers alike.

River Gowy and its plain near Huxley The River Gowy and its plain looking to the Peckforton Hills where it rises close to the source of the River Weaver. While the Weaver flows south initially, the Gowy flows north and for several miles provides the valley used by the Shropshire Union Canal. It runs just to the east of Chester and passes under the Manchester Ship Canal to meet the Mersey near Stanlow.
