Lyme Park & Gardens (NT)
Historic House / Palace
Great National Trust estate with lavishly decorated house and fine gardens.
Originally a Tudor house, Lyme was transformed by the Venetian architect Leoni into an Italianate palace. Some Elizabethan interiors survive and contrast dramatically with later rooms. The state-rooms are adorned with Mortlake tapestries, Grinling Gibbons woodcarvings and an important collection of English clocks.
With its 17-acre Victorian garden, 19th century Orangery, sunken Dutch garden and 'Reflection Lake', Lyme Park’s beautiful gardens are of great historic importance.
This winter visit Lyme Park where you'll find a delightful selection of original paintings on loan from the home of Beatrix Potter in the Lake District as part of the Winter with Beatrix. The display will include the manuscript for Beatrix's Christmas Tale, the Tailor of Gloucester. Family activities including craft, dressing up and story telling.
Garden and gallery admission applies. NT members free.
