Peckforton Castle :: Shared Description
Peckforton Castle was built between 1844 and 1850 for John Tollemache, the largest landowner in Cheshire at that time.
Although it was built as a family home its design was that of a medieval castle. It has a gatehouse, a portcullis, a dry moat, external windows that are little more than arrow slots, and large towers.
It is now a hotel.
