The Soulton Estate
Guests are encouraged to walk, enjoy and explore the 500 acres of private land in which Soulton Hall is set.
This includes Soulton Wood, 50 acres of ancient oak woodland (a site of special scientific interest), stretches of the banks of Soulton Brook and the River Roden populated by kingfishers and running to about a mile, and the archeological remains of bronze age ring ditches, a medieval castle and medieval gardens (which could be of European importance), as well as park- and farmland.
The cottages are situated about the estate.
The land is sensitively managed, also by the Ashton family, who actively run the farm as well, under the Countryside Stewardship Scheme. It is home to an impressively diverse range of wildlife which is flourishing.
Below is a map of the ground at Soulton.
The ancient mound, which features in the history of Soulton, is shown to the north east of Soulton Hall.
