Lyme Park, House and Garden - a photo on Flickriver

            I took this picture on the last day before the UK went into lockdown for a month. We had to book a time slot for admission into the park. Lucky we got an early slot so the most of my pictures contain no people.  We left after about 3 hours and there must have been 300 cars in the car parks and a queue of cars at the entrance. 

All trying to enjoy the last day of freedom.......

Glorious house, surrounded by gardens, moorland and deer park

Nestling on the edge of the Peak District, Lyme Park was once a great sporting estate and home of the Legh family for over 500 years.

The house is renowned for its elegant interiors and beautiful gardens, against a backdrop of sweeping moorland with extensive views across Manchester and the Cheshire Plain. In 2020, it hosts an exhibition uncovering the history of the Lyme Missal, the most important printed book in the National Trust’s collection.

The 1,400 acre estate with its medieval herd of red deer is a paradise for bird-watchers and wildlife spotters, and hosts regular guided walks and running events. For a more tranquil stroll, explore the Edwardian rose garden, ravine garden or orangery next to the reflecting lake where a certain Mr Darcy met Miss Bennett in the BBC production of 'Pride and Prejudice'.
