About Hawarden Estate
Hawarden Estate is a special, sprawling space of history and intrigue. Perched on the edge of North Wales beside the Roman city of Chester, it is home to a 13th-century fortification with iron-age origins and an 18th-century castle once home to four-time Prime Minister William Gladstone.
Enveloped by scenic rural parkland, this is a seriously unique location that also has its own private lake, walled garden and miles of woodland.
In recent years, the Estate has evolved to encompass a range of exciting event spaces and venues. Our roots remain age-old, but our outlook is completely contemporary. Here, you can find out a bit more about our different spaces and when you can visit them.
We have a multi-award-winning Farm Shop and restaurant, some of the finest holiday homes in Britain, The AA Welsh Pub of the Year (2020), a campsite, endless activities from lake swimming to abseiling, a grade 1 listed private events space, The Walled Garden School that offers inspiration and education in craft, food and wellness and our famous Summer Camp.
