Waddow Hall

Waddow Hall is an English country house near Clitheroe set on a 178-acre estate with 29 bedrooms and two separate cottages on the grounds. The main building and additional residential structures provide accommodation across the large property.

The house was built by the Tempest family during the Tudor period and remained under their ownership until 1657 when Richard Tempest died. This marked a significant turning point in the estate's history.

The property hosted Lancashire Girl Guides from 1927 onward, serving as a center for youth groups and outdoor learning. This connection shaped how the place was used for community gatherings and shared experiences.

The grounds feature nine self-contained campsites with toilet and washing facilities available for groups. Visitors should plan to move across the large property to access the different facilities and areas.

Local folklore tells of Peg O'Nell, a servant who died at the property's well. Her story inspired a tradition of making offerings to the well every seven years.
