Lyme Park, Disley

Fantastic stately home with lots to see both inside and outside. Lots of rooms stuffed full of furniture and personal items that make it feel homely. The Room Steward's have a wealth of information who can answer any question. A lovely gift shop full of tasteful item for the home as well as some local beer, jams and chutneys, biscuits and sweets. The grounds are extensive with plenty of walking round pretty gardens as well as The Cage, a hunting lodge on the hill. There's also a lovely little orangery with tropical plants. There's also a cafe to rest and recover with home made cakes.

Huge estate and well worth the relatively modest entry fee. Very friendly knowledgeable staff. Beautiful house to go round. Extensive parkland with moorland, red deer, follies and woodland. Great for kids and dog friendly. Good range of cafes.
