Cliffe Park Hall, Grade II listed building in Horton, England.

Cliffe Park Hall stands northwest of Rudyard Lake, featuring Neo-Gothic architecture with stone walls and crenellated elements that create a castle appearance.

John Haworth constructed Cliffe Park Hall in 1811 for £25,000, later bequeathing the estate to his cousin Fanny Bostock upon his death in 1831.

George Orwell stayed at Cliffe Park Hall in February 1936 while conducting research for his book 'The Road To Wigan Pier'.

The building served multiple functions through time, including a private residence, golf clubhouse, and youth hostel until its conversion back to residential use.

The flat roof remains hidden from ground level view, while disguised chimney stacks maintain the hall's deliberate architectural deception.
