At Stirk House, we’re lucky enough to be surrounded by our own 22 acre patch of glorious Lancashire countryside; we appreciate our environment and try to use it as inspiration in everything we do, from creating dishes with foraged ingredients to planting over 5,000 indigenous trees and wild flowers. We encourage our guests and visitors to explore the grounds in whichever way they please, whether that means enjoying lunch on the patio or adventuring through the woods.
With lots of animals, habitats and a wonderland of different plants, there’s many discoveries for little explorers to make on the Stirk House nature trail! Download the children’s activity sheet & woodland word-search before your visit and see how many you can find.

We’ve worked hard over many years to make the grounds at Stirk House a haven for local wildlife, and now have many animals and insects who have made it their home, including wild deer often seen roaming the fields. Spot butterflies and baby rabbits from the conservatory or take some time out in the specially built wildlife hideout.
The gardens at Stirk House are lovingly cared for by our on-site groundskeepers and frame the house with beautiful, seasonal blooms all year round. Enjoy an alfresco lunch on the patio overlooking exquisite countryside or stroll around the pretty landscaped gardens at your leisure. The gardens also contribute to our green credentials, with our very own onsite orchard providing fruit for the kitchen and a meadow of wild flowers to encourage biodiversity.
