Shibden Hall

The real Shibden Hall, the estate that Anne Lister (Suranne Jones) is one of the main bases for filming. It dates to 1420 and is surrounded by parklands with walking trails, a miniature railway and boating lake. The hall itself is a hodgepodge of architectural styles, with an attractive timber-framed frontage, a 17th-century outhouse that has displays on traditional crafts such as blacksmithing and coopering, and a recreated brewhouse.
