On the edge of the Peak District nestling within sweeping moor land,
Lyme Park is a magnificent estate with the characters of the Legh family and
servants imprinted on it. Its wild remoteness and powerful beauty
contrast with one of the most famous country house images in England. The
garden, house and park provide a backdrop for every mood, whether for
letting off steam or quiet relaxation. It continues to be noble, glorious,
and so much more than a walk in the park.
There is plenty to see and do. The Garden has a changing display of Spring
and Summer bedding why not find the Orangery or rose garden?. The luxurious
herbaceous borders, Rose Garden give scent and colour in the summer months.
Children can let off steam, or you can enjoy a quiet moment as you admire
the magnificent moorland.
Don't miss our interactive exhibition about living and working at Lyme in
the Timber Yard.
Delicious food, including venison from the park, is prepared in the Lyme
kitchens; and with retail therapy at hand, Lyme really is a glorious day
out.
