Lyme Hall Archives - Southport and Formby Association of the National Trust

Our outing on 30th April was to Lyme Hall and Deer Park in Disley. The weather was warm and sunny so perfect for our trip over to Cheshire. We were made very welcome by the National Trust staff at Lyme Hall and everyone found plenty to see and do during our time there.
Lyme Hall is nestled on the edge of the Peak District, was once home to the Leigh family and, in its heyday, a great sporting estate. The Hall is filled with treasures and stories of historical interest. The room guides were very friendly and knowledgeable and made our journey through the hall all the more interesting. There is also a 1,400 acre estate and deer park with lots of wooded areas and meadows to explore.

We all appreciated the sun and fresh air and agreed the outing to Lyme Hall was very relaxed and enjoyable. Our next outing is to Tatton Hall and Gardens in Knutsford, Cheshire which will take place on Thursday 21st May.
