Waddow Hall is a 17th-century Grade II listed building within a 178-acre (72 ha) estate that serves as a conference and activity centre for Girlguiding UK near Clitheroe, Lancashire.

[4] Following Richard Tempest's death in prison, the land and buildings of the Waddow estate were acquired in 1658 by Christopher Wilkinson of Clitheroe, an out-bailiff and later a member of parliament.

The Girl Guides Association rented the estate between 1927 and 1928, using it as an activity centre, and purchased it for £9,000 from William Garnett's son on 16 October 1928.

[6] According to local folklore the estate is haunted by the ghost of Peg O'Nell, a former servant at the hall, who was murdered by the lady of the house.

[7][8] A slightly differing version is told in Notes on the Folklore of the Northern Counties of England and the Borders by William Henderson.

Before starting out one morning to fetch water from the well, the girl offended her mistress the lady of Waddow, who thereupon expressed a wish that she might fall and break her neck.
