Without gifts in wills, we simply wouldn’t be able to look after the extraordinary places in our care. This special event will take you behind the scenes to see first-hand how your support is helping us carry out crucial conservation work every day, and how a gift in your own will could help to safeguard the future of our special places.
Nestled on the edge of the Peak District, Lyme was once home to the Legh family. The 1,400 acre estate, with its house, gardens, parkland and medieval herd of red deer, offers fantastic walks and stunning views. During this special visit we will go behind the scenes of the house and the surrounding landscape to highlight some of Lyme's 600 year history, which more recently includes being famously featured in the BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice.
