Ilam Park is a historic estate near Ilam, Staffordshire. The estate was owned from the 16th century by the Port family. After the death of John Port, it was sold to David Pike Watts in 1809. On his death in 1816, the old hall was inherited by his daughter who had married Jesse Russell. Russell commissioned James Trubshaw to build a new Hall (1821-1826) to designs by John Shaw. In the early 1930s it was sold for demolition. Sir Robert McDougal bought it for the National Trust, on the understanding that the remaining parts (the entrance porch and hall, the Great Hall and the service wing) be used as an International Youth Hostel. It is within the council area of Staffordshire Moorlands (Staffordshire).
