Walton Hall, Grade II* listed mansion in Walton, West Yorkshire, England
The 1767 Palladian country house stands on an island within a 26-acre lake, surrounded by ancient woodland and extensive parkland grounds.
Charles Waterton, a naturalist and explorer, transformed his ancestral home into the first wildfowl and nature reserve in the world during the 1820s.
The property maintains a connection to Anglo-Saxon heritage through its mention in the Domesday Book and its association with chieftain Ailric.
The house functions as part of Waterton Park Hotel, offering accommodations with access to swimming pools, thermal suites, and spa treatment rooms.
A global sundial from 1813 by George Boulby remains on the grounds, enabling visitors to determine time across different world cities.
