Hamilton House Development

The Hamilton Development dates back to the 1600s and was originally built for the Duke of Hamilton, James Hamilton, with the surrounding grounds also owned by the Duke. James the Duke Hamilton was killed in the early 1700s during a duel in Hyde Park, and the property was then passed down through future generations. In 1986, the development was made a Grade II listed building, before later becoming a collection of six luxury apartments and three high-end barn conversions. Original features have been kept and restored, which was of high importance to the British heritage report, and now welcomes groups who desire to explore the South Lake District, Yorkshire Dales, and Lancashire. This group’s location is ideal as there are some amazing treks and lovely eateries on the doorstep, and the town is worth a visit!

Close by is the village of Scorton, which has a lovely three-mile walk around Nicky Nook with views of the Forest of Bowland, Heysham, and Morecambe. This trip concludes with two well-known eateries, The Apple Store and The Barn. Both are worth seeing while you're here! Garstang, a market town just down the road, has a range of shops, cafés, and pubs, as well as a weekly Thursday market. Lancaster's ancient downtown has a plethora of restaurants, shops, and bars; alternatively travel up to the castle for stories of the famed Pendle witches.

The region is ideal for individuals who want to get out in the fresh air and explore the local footpaths or pedal the calm country lanes. Further afield, the home is close to both the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales National Parks, allowing you easy access to some of Britain's most spectacular landscapes and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, including Arnside and Silverdale, as well as the Forest of Bowland. The finest in local produce, cuisine and drink, award-winning gastro-pubs, and tourism attractions may be found in picturesque adjacent towns and villages. Activities in Ingleton include caving, climbing, and walking by the Waterfalls, while attractions in the south Lake District include the South Lakes Safari Zoo, Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway, Lakes Aquarium, The World of Beatrice Potter, Lakeland Motor Museum, and Holker Hall Gardens. A trip south will take you to the seaside town of Blackpool, which is packed with activities, including Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Sandcastle Water Park, and Arcades on the Pier.

Nestled between both the coast and countryside, there’s something for everyone to enjoy at Hamilton House Development.
