Cannon Hall Park and Garden

Cannon Hall Park and Gardens is an idyllic place for a relaxing walk, family outing or picnic. The Park is an ideal place to explore with children, with acres of grassland that are perfect for games. Adjacent to Cannon Hall is the historic walled garden, home to one of the most extensive collections of pear trees in the North of England. A magnificent greenhouse is home to the 200 year old Cannon Hall grape vine, the descendents of which are used to produce fine Australian wine today. Visitors will also discover the remains of the Pinery – a greenhouse built in the 1700's which was designed specifically to grow pineapples and exotic fruit. Deeper in the landscaped gardens is Fairyland, a beautiful and tranquil hideaway. Built in the 1870's this whimsical garden features arches and pillars built from stone taken from the ruins of local churches surrounding a relaxing pond area. There is a wide range of family friendly activities available at Cannon Hall Park and Gardens including orienteering, fishing and garden trails and tours.
