The Best Western Waterton Park Hotel is set within the grounds of the historic Walton Hall, a beautiful Georgian Mansion on an island surrounded by a 26 acre lake, accessible only by a picturesque iron bridge.
Walton Hall is famous not only locally but throughout the world as the home of Charles Waterton, the famous naturalist who died in 1865.
Formally the home of Charles Waterton, an eccentric nineteenth century traveller and naturalist. Squire Waterton transformed the lake and its surrounding parkland into the world's first wildfowl reserve and sanctuary. Many species still breed here today.
Walton Hall was built by Charles Waterton's father in the eighteenth century.
