Review
We are massive fans of Hoghton Tower here at Top 100Attractions. One of the many charming things about this attraction is that it has managed to stay in the same family hands for centuries, which for those fans of country house rescue will know all too well, is a rarity nowadays. Lancashire has many stately homes and manor houses dotted all over the place, but Hoghton Tower is one of the biggest jewels in Lancashire's bright and sparkling crown. I had the good fortune to be shown around by one of the latest descendants in a long line of the De Hoghton family, and thoroughly enjoyed myself. As if a trip here wasn't exciting enough, you can actually hire an apartment within the turrets of this ancient bastion, and believe me at a very affordable rate you to can become part of the story here at Hoghton Tower.
