Almost 1,000 Years of History

The Castle stands on a site with almost 1,000 years of history. Halton Castle was founded around 1070–1071 and later played an important administrative and military role. In 1737, a courthouse and prison were built on the former gatehouse site before becoming a hotel in 1909 and later the pub visitors enjoy today. The Grade II* listed building retains its Georgian character and historic Courtroom, standing beside the nationally important medieval castle ruins.
Traditional Hospitality in a Remarkable Setting
