History
The first owner of the Manor of Lowick was Ivo de Taillebois in 1091: a Norman baron who came to England with William the Conqueror and who was a friend of his son, William Rufus. The existing house dates to the late sixteenth century and is based in the westernmost of the pele towers. In the 1740's, a Georgian main block was built, with a sandstone porch added in the 1880's. Many Cumbrian families followed de Taillebois as owners, including Towers, Ambrose, Blencow, Everard, Montagu and Calvert. The hall and manor was not sold until after the Second World War but descended through nephews, nieces and cousins. In 1948 it was purchased by Arthur Ransome, the author of 'Swallows and Amazons', and his wife Eugenia. The current owners have published an illustrated history of the house.
Lowick Hall is situated on the northwesterly periphery of Lowick village, just south of Coniston Water. Surrounded by a breathtaking landscape of valleys, hidden tarns, and gentle fells, the area offers unmatched natural beauty. Nearby in Greenodd, adjacent to the A590 which links Newby Bridge and Ulverston, residents benefit from access to local amenities and shops. Lowick's positioning provides access to Ulverston, Coniston, Broughton-in-Furness and Newby Bridge, making it an optimal base to explore the worldrenowned landscapes of the Lake District.
The Lake District, famous for its awe-inspiring landscapes and tranquil beauty, is one of England's most cherished landscapes. Characterized by its calm lakes, rugged mountains and charming villages, the area offers an escape from the bustle of modern life. Living in the Lake District provides a lifestyle marked by outdoor adventure, cultural richness, and a strong sense of community. Residents enjoy a variety of outdoor activities such as hiking, boating, and cycling against a backdrop of breathtaking scenery. The region's picturesque villages and historic towns provide shops and restaurants, while its active arts scene offers ample opportunities for cultural exploration.
Travelling west along the A590 towards Ulverston, turn right at the roundabout at Greenodd, onto the A5092. Follow the road north for a couple of miles and then turn right at Lowick Green onto the A5084 road signposted to Coniston. Continue past Lowick Green and after about half a mile turn left at the Red Lion public house. Continue past a group of cottages, and Lowick Church on the right, the main entrance gate to Lowick Hall is the first entrance on the right. There is a side entrance drive just beyond the main entrance.
