Glorious house, surrounded by gardens, moorland and deer park

Welcome to Lyme Park. Nestling on the edge of the Peak District,  Lyme Park was once home to the Legh family and, in its heyday a great sporting estate.

Step back in time to the Edwardian era -  Lyme's 'Golden Era'. Enjoy lavish interiors, try out the piano, read a book in the library, or take the children to play in the nursery bedroom.

The 1,300 acre estate with its medieval herd of red and fallow deer offers fantastic walks and stuninng views.

For a more tranquil walk explore the Edwardian rose garden, ravine garden or luxurious herbaceous borders next to the reflecting lake where a certain Mr Darcy met Miss Bennett in the BBC production of 'Pride and Prejudice'.

Children can let off steam in Crow Wood Playscape with its giant slide, badger den and rope walks, whilst the nearby Timber Yard Coffee Shop offers delicious hot and cold snacks, soups and range of cakes.
