    5 Stars Lyme Park in Disley Review with images 08/04/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A beautiful day out for the whole family

    Disadvantages Disadvantages lack of toilet facilities

    Lyme park is a beautiful, grand Elizabethan house situated in the heart of Disley in Cheshire. (It is run in association with the National trust and Stockport council). *Getting there…. By car, take the A6 from either Stockport or Buxton and the park is situated near Disley. Car parking cost £3.80 per car, which is refunded on purchase of an Adult house/garden ticket. The bus route is good as the 199 Buxton to Manchester Airport/ Manchester Airport-Buxton buses run regularly. There is also a bus from Macclesfield. The nearest train station is Disley which is a short walk to the entrance of the ... more

    4 Stars Lyme Park, Disley, Nr Stockport, Cheshire 09/10/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A good place the the whole family as there are plenty of things for the children to do.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The overall cost can add up for a family of four if visiting all the attractions as they are charged for separately.

    Lyme Park, a National Trust managed property, is situated approximately 6 miles from Stockport, Cheshire. For five hundred and fifty years, Lyme Park was the countryseat of the Legh family. At first glance Lyme Park appears to be complete from the outside, when you get into the building you find that the interior betrays its age, and parts of the Elizabethan structure, which were built by Sir Piers VII can be seen. Once this has been ascertained, it is well worth taking a second look at the outside, for instance, the north front, which is the original entrance, still has the Renaissance ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great park for picnics

    Disadvantages Disadvantages not the best without a car

    Lyme park is a beautiful place to go with the whole family. I recommend you go in a car as it could be a little far to travel for most people.Once you drive into the park a man at a kiosk will be there where u pay him a little fee to enter then you have to drive almost a mile to get to the car park, once there you wont no which way to go it is so big but you have signs to help you. It has its own cafe toilets icecream vans and a big beautiful pond, little streams and little waterfalls also a castle. Hills for you to take nice walks and beautiful views once up high. An amazing childrens ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Not too far out..cheap parking (£1.00).eating facilities,musem,deer park...many live animals and play areas

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Entrance can be expensive if you want to enter the house & deer park!

    Lyme park...although described as being in Manchester is actually in Disley (About 18 miles from the city centre).Lyme park is a feast of beauty and a gem within the National Trust. The park stretches over 80 square miles and is far too big to navigate in a day.. If anyone should ever tell you that Lyme Park is a great day out...then believe them not...for you will need at least three days to see most of it. On of Lyme Parks claim to fame ,is that its unspiolt beauty owes its being to one of the best horticultural teams in the country...and to that end Lyme Park has several times been used by ... more
