Tourist attraction Historical landmark Heritage building

😐 Interesting little place. Fine for a brief visit. Free (for all) English Heritage car park up the hill 159 MTRS from the entrance. Car park clearly signed. Car park also allows access to Warton Crag, pleasant hiking area and nature reserve

    Called in to Warton Old Rectory on our way to Carnforth. Not a very large ruin but has some information boards so you know what you are looking at and worth a stop off if you are passing that way

    Picturesque remains dating to 14th century. Free parking. Old school brewery next to car park.

    Great stop to see the old rectory. Parking can be difficult but it’s pretty much in the village centre so it’s easily accessible. Information signs there to tell you about the history of the ruins. One large building with several rooms and features to see. Also a nice grass area at the back. Very well maintained. A hidden Gem 💎

    First English Heritage i have visited in the last 3 years. It was tucked away between a tow of houses opposite the church. We probably spent a max of ten minutes here. There is little to see other than the walled ruins of the old rectory. Impressive in terms of the thickness of the wall and the fact it has survived so so long. It will still be here in 500 years

    Simple ruined Rectory in quite a historic village. Visit the Church opposite too and discover the village's relationship with George Washington

    Tiny little spot, won't take long to look around, but is in a nice little village. Worth a stop if you are in the area

    A little disappointed; no toilet facilities or directions to public toilets. Although the grounds were well kept and interesting, there was little to explore and not much information about the site. The local houses are extremely close, overlooking the site, so we can't enjoy a picnic. After ten minutes we left. Must be a lovely place for the local residents but not worth an hour drive with young children.

    Nice place to stop off whilst driving back south from the lakes to break up the journey. Lovely old ruins but not much to see. Tho I can recommend popping in if Your passing. But check to see if it’s open when you go as I think it closes over winter.

    Whilst a beautiful historic ruin be advised there is no parking other than in the main road. It is a very small site, with no toilets, cafe or shop. With this in mind it is a lovely but of history opposite the church. Worth having a look at if passing.

    This rectory is stunning. The stain glass windows are amazing, 15th century it was built

    This is a small ruined building with a few information boards. You can park in the street and there's no entry fee. Its a half hour visit at most, suggest you have a walk at Warton Crags round the corner which have spectacular views then find a tea shop.

    Only a small ruin with a small bit of information about the place. Its on the opposite side of the road to the church and not in the grounds of the church as stated by google maps. The location is slightly wrong as of 10/9/23

  • 5/5 Brian P. 8 months ago on Google
    Fairly complete remains in terms of the floor plan with reasonable height in the main hall. Worth a visit if passing by.
