Save this place
Eaton Hall has been the Grosvenor family’s seat since the 15th century, but the house you’d actually see today isn’t the Victorian Gothic pile the name might suggest — it was rebuilt in the 1970s in a stark flat-roofed style, then re-cased in the 1980s to look more like a French château. The real draw is the 88 acres of gardens: rose borders, a Dutch tea house, a walled kitchen garden. They open to the public just twice a year, on pre-booked charity open days. Chester station is about 6km north.
