Lyme Park, House and Garden

Stunning interiors

This magnificent house sits proudly within a medieval deer park. Once home to the Legh family, in its heyday it was one of the great sporting estates. Lavish furnished interiors take you back to the Edwardian era when Lyme was at its best.

Wild moorland

Nestling on the edge of the Peak District, with stunning views toward the Welsh Hills and over Derbyshire sits Lyme Park. Home to Red and Fallow deer, this 1,300 acre park has sweeping moorland, and lots to explore. Why not take a walk leaflet and feel miles from anywhere.

Crow Wood playscape

Come on down to Crow Wood - our fantastic Playscape at Lyme Park. Try the giant tree house and badger sett, hurl yourself down the huge slide or practise your climbing skills on the tree trunks. You can easily spend a day outdoors here – so bring a picnic.

The curious building on the hill

The atmospheric hunting tower on the hill recently provided a spooky setting for 'The Awakening' a BBC film. Hunting parties would have stopped here for lunch, with it being used by the ladies as a place to watch what was going on. The Cage was also lived in by gamekeepers, can you imagine living there?
