Lyme Park (National Trust)

Lyme Park (National Trust), Disley, Stockport, Cheshire, SK12 2NR

Nestling on the edge of the Peak District and approximately 6 miles from Poynton Lyme Park can provide a fascinating and wonderful day out for all the family.

You can step back to Edwardian times by entering the magnificent house with its sumptuous interiors, historical collections and period costumes.

Visitors can picnic by a lake or eat at the Timber Yard Cafe, wander through beautiful landscaped gardens, woodland, moorland and over 1000 acres of deer park.

Children can let off steam in Crow Wood Playscape with its slide, badger den and rope walks.

Climbing up to the ‘Cage’ (pictured), which centuries ago was Hunting Lodge, rewards visitors with breath-taking views.
