Norton Priory Runcorn and places to stay nearby

The Brookes developed the tranquil woodland gardens at Norton Priory, whose pathways are still in use and give access to the recreated stream-glade and rock garden. The grounds, bounded by the historic Bridgewater Canal, are home to a rich variety of wild life, especially birds and insects. The peaceful and relaxing two and a half acre Walled Garden at Norton Priory has won four Britain in Bloom awards. It was built between 1757 and 1770 by the Brooke family as a kitchen garden to provide fresh produce and flowers for the Norton Priory mansion. Close by is the ice house. You can see the Walled Garden by going on a guided tour in the afternoon whenever staffing permits (details on display at Museum).
