Halton Castle

Halton Castle was the seat of the Barons of Halton from the 11th century until the 14th century and it then passed to the Duchy of Lancaster.

In the 18th century, a new courthouse was built on the site of the previous gatehouse and today the castle lies in ruins apart from the courthouse which has been converted into a hotel and pub.

The castle itself is opened for special events and tours several times a year, however, it is possible to walk around the castle walls at any time of the year.
