[NT] Lyme. Cheshire. 069. July 2023

            National Trust. Lyme. Disley, Stockport, Cheshire, northwest England. (Cheshire & Greater Manchester).

Had a wonderful time visiting here. It's about 60 miles, 1 hour 50 mins drive for me. 

Lyme is a glorious house, surrounded by gardens, moorland and a deer park. Nestling on the edge of the Peak District, Lyme was once home to the Legh family and, in its heyday a great sporting estate. The 1,400 acre estate with its medieval herd of red deer offers fantastic walks and stunning views.

There is an elegant Rose Garden, Ravine Garden or the luxurious herbaceous borders next to the reflecting lake where a certain Mr Darcy met Miss Bennet in the BBC production of 'Pride and Prejudice'.

The site catalogues approximately three-quarters of a million National Trust objects with more being added daily.

The house is the largest in Cheshire, and is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I Listed Building. The estate was granted to Sir Thomas Danyers in 1346 and passed to the Leghs of Lyme by marriage in 1388. 

The house dates from the latter part of the 16th century (1720s). The house is the largest in Cheshire, measuring overall 190 feet (58 m) by 130 feet (40 m) round a courtyard plan. It has a symmetrical 15-bay three-storey south front overlooking the the beautiful lake.
Architects were Giacomo Leoni and Lewis Wyatt incorporating the Elizabethan, Palladian, Baroque styles.

The house is surrounded by formal gardens of 6 hectares (15 acres) in a deer park of about 550 hectares (1,359 acres) which are listed at Grade II* in the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. In the gardens and deer park are a number of structures.

To the west of the house is the former mill pond. From the south side a lawn slopes down to another pond beyond which is a small ravine with a stone bridge.
