Winter Walks
Winter is a great time to see wildlife in the parkland as woodland birds such as goldcrests and treecreepers gather to search for food among the silhouetted trees. Wildfowl species increase in number on the meres as they join us from the north to enjoy our relatively mild climate, and from the Allen Bird Hide near Melchett Mere, visitors may be lucky enough to spot wigeons, pochards and goldeneye.
Festive Food and Drink
Warm up after a wintry walk with some homemade Tatton produce soup in the Stables Restaurant, or enjoy an indulgent The Works hot chocolate. Or as a special treat, book a Festive Afternoon Tea in the Gardener's Cottage Tea Room on selected dates between 22 November - 23 December Enquire here
