Speke Hall is a beautiful black and white timber Tudor Hall the Norris family started to build in 1532 on the banahernks of the river Mersey then surrounded by woods and pastures.

Like any hall during its 500 years of history, it has had its ups and downs.  it was saved from being a cow shed by the Watt family and cherished and made into a comfy Arts and Craft home during the Victorian period. William Morris original wallpaper still hangs there today and Whistler and Rossetti were frequent visitors. Discover on your self-guided tour of the house the priest’s hole and how to eavesdrop or find the fossils only about 430million years old in the Great Hall Floor!

The hall is surrounded by wooded areas, beautiful gardens, a Victorian kitchen garden and there is even a coastal walk by the river Mersey estuary.

A gate into the Mersey and Garston Coastal reserve will be open, a 70-acre wildlife area along besides the Mersey home to a variety of birdlife.

And of course, there is the NT restaurant and a tearoom.
