Sleddle Hall


I’ve never seen the film “ Withnail and I” but a few weeks ago, we visited the location where the filming took place.


It’s a very remote spot up there at Sleddle Hall, even today when the busy M6 is visible in the distance. Life there in the early 1800s when it was built must have been hard.  Maybe people were tougher in those days, although life expectancy and indeed, expectations were considerably less than today.  The sun was shining on the day of our walk but it wasn’t difficult to imagine the spot on a bleak, cold wintery day
