An exceptional example of the architectural movement, Blackwell - The Arts & Crafts house conserves the fluidity and dynamism of the Arts and Crafts style. Almost unaltered since it was built at the turn of the century, every piece of furniture and decoration in the interior of the house belongs to Arts and Crafts. Walk on your own through the rooms of the house to get a feel for the floor plan and style. Enjoy the views from the upper floors of the gardens and surrounding countryside. In addition to the house itself, explore the exhibitions on the lower floors. After looking at the architecture, take a look in the gift ship for an interesting souvenir and have a hand-made snack from the tearoom.

  • This is one of our favourite houses to visit. The setting is fantastic and the interiors are beautiful. We have visited many times. Thank you to the staff, the front desk staff and the ladles in the tearoom were welcoming and friendly. Also good to see items on display from other collections. The bed covering from the Gawthorpe Textile Collection was very beautiful.
  • Wonderful house, a real gem. Beautiful interior designed in the Arts & Crafts tradition. The drawing room is simply stunning - a real 'wow' when you enter. If you have a list of buildings to visit in the Lake District, put this near the top!
