Tatton Park

The current mansion is built on the site of a much earlier house, but still dates back to 1716. Its neo-classical architecture and elevated position making for a stunningly grand sight, even amidst the thousand acres of garden and landscaped parkland. Inside, the house is as immaculate as it is on the outside, with its rich furnishings and incredible collection of books, furniture and artworks. It's well worth a good look around.

And as if the house isn't impressive enough, the gardens, deer park, lake and working farm offer a wonderful chance to explore, pet, eat and play.

Tatton Park also plays host to events throughout the year, such as the annual RHS Flower Show each July, classic car shows, major outdoor concerts and family friendly days too, so check their website for details.
