Tour the Gardens

Our gardens were recently the subject of a BBC Radio 4 programme which you can listen to online.

Loyola Hall gardens offer a place of tranquility whatever the time of year. From the moment you enter the gates time seems to slow down.

The grounds contain many magnificent trees. The largest are the stately beeches, several of which were once trained to grow in most unusual ways.

Our pond has been home to a pair of moorhens for many years and mallard ducks have also reared their young here over the last two summers.

The walled garden is a sheltered spot that offers a marvelous display of flowers in the summer months.

As well as our carefully mown lawns, the gardens also offer a meadow criss-crossed with paths.

Wild flowers abound. Butterflies and birds are also found in abundance.

Perhaps the most distinctive feature of the
grounds is the trained beech at the front of
the house which forms our logo.

For those who wish to roam further afield, the house is situated in a semi-rural area. Retreatants can stroll though fields of wheat and barley, see the Liverpool skyline and visit Pex Hill Country Park and Nature Reserve.

If you have come by car, then 35 minutes drive would see you at the Formby Coastal Nature Reserve, Delamere Forest, Chester, Wigan Pier or Manchester.
