Welcome to Levens Hall

Located at the gateway to the Lake District National Park, five miles south of Kendal in Cumbria, Levens Hall has grown from a stark, imposing Pele Tower built c1250-1300, into a warm and welcoming family home.  We invite you to marvel at this beautiful privately-owned house and gardens, home to the world's oldest topiary gardens and centre of a thriving 9,500-acre agricultural estate which provides much of the produce for our cafe, Levens Kitchen .

Whether you are visiting as an individual, a couple, a family or part of a group, you will find plenty to do and see here. 

We hope you enjoy your visit.

New for 2026

This year, for the first time, we will be opening throughout October and into November. Our last day of normal opening will be Sunday 8th November, 2026.

After Sunday 4th October, we will need to close some areas of the gardens. This is to protect the grass pathways and delicate borders as we go into Autumn. There will still be full access to our world famous Topiary gardens. Due to this reduced access, we will be lowering the cost of admission to the House and Gardens from Monday 5th October until Sunday 8th November.

House and gardens £15 Adult £5 Child £35.50 Family

Gardens only £9 Adult £3 Child £21.50 Family

For the weekdays from 4th October until 23rd October, access to the House will be for guided tours only which will be available at 11am 12 midday 1.30pm and 2.30pm. They can be booked on arrival at the Kiosk for no extra charge.

Weekend openiing and every day from 24th October, the House will be open as normal from 11am until 3.30pm (Last entry 3pm)
