Levens Hall
(10 minute drive away / 6 miles)
The house is a striking Elizabethan mansion built
around a 13th-century Pele Tower.
Expanded in the late 16th century, the Hall has been home
to the Bagot family for over 400 years.
The interiors of Levens Hall reflect the craftsmanship
of the Jacobean era, featuring dark-stained wood panelling,
carved furniture, and ornate plaster ceilings.
