Details
Lyme Park is a National Trust run park located in Disley in Stockport, South Manchester.
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. Lyme Park has a glorious house, surrounded by beautiful gardens, moorland and a deer park.
The 1,400 acre estate with its medieval herd of red deer offers fantastic walks and stunning views.
Children can let off steam in Crow Wood Playscape with its giant slide, badger den and rope walks, whilst the nearby Timberyard Cafe offers delicious hot and cold snacks, soups and range of cakes.

The parkland here is vast and there are numerous different walks you can take. Some days there are guided walks which are excellent as they show you parts of the park you might not ordinarily see. There are certain days when the garden is dog friendly too so it’s definitely worth checking on the website. At the moment you need to book any visit in advance on the NT website because of COVID-19 restrictions.
