The"hidden jewel" of Salford is known to be the Ordsall Hall. It is one of the best specimens of an Elizabethan black and white half-timbered manor house in the area, dating back more than 600 years.

A former manor home from the 15th century, Ordsall Hall is located in a revered parish. The hall, which once belonged to the Radclyffe family, has served as a radio station, a working men's club, a clergy school, and a period residence.

The manor home is the subject of folklore and legend in the area. The Gunpowder Plot of 1605 is said to have been plotted there by Guy Fawkes and Robert Catesby, along with their tunnel-based escape route. The White Lady, Margaret Radclyffe's ghost, is also said to haunt the house.

You have two options for touring Ordsall Hall: a self-guided tour or a professional-led tour. You will discover the legends and tales of the mansion and its prior occupants during a guided tour. Ordsall Hall holds a variety of events and exhibitions all year long, including outdoor theater performances, garden parties, and Christmas-themed activities making it one of the top places to visit in Salford. The manor offers spooky ghost tours around Halloween that include tales of the ghosts that roam the manor. With Ghost Nights, daring guests can spend the night in the manor and live the paranormal experience.
