The Elephant and Castle, Peckforton, Cheshire

Exploring the rather charming little village of Peckforton in Cheshire, one might stumble across a rather unusual garden ornament. Tucked into a hedge, bordering a garden, is a huge stone elephant carrying a castle on its back. This was carved by the local stonemason, John Watson, and all sorts of stories are told of its history. Continue reading The Elephant and Castle, Peckforton, Cheshire

Peckforton Castle

Peckforton Castle is located in Cheshire, England. The country house was built from 1842-1851 for John Tollemache, who wanted a medieval-style castle. The 2nd Baron Tollemache modified the castle in the last decade of the 19th century, adding electricity. In 1939, as WWII began, the castle was abandoned and passed to a secondary line who died with no heirs in 1955. The castle was used for shooting movies over the next few decades. In 1988, American, Evelyn Graybill purchased the castle and renovated and converted it into a hotel. The Naylor family purchased the castle in 2006. The castle once sat on 36,000 acres, but the property currently consists of 4,000 acres of forest. The 48-bedroom castle has a bell tower, an octagonal library tower, an octagonal dining room, two restaurants, a spa, and a private chapel. The property has the original gatehouse, a wrought-iron portcullis above the carriageway, a stable, and a dry moat. The castle boasts towers five stories high, with the rest of the castle three stories. It is considered one of the last well-built castles in England built in the medieval style. Peckforton Castle is a four-star hotel and a venue for weddings and corporate events.
