Source

Lyme Hall, situated in Lyme Park near Disley in the County of Cheshire, is a grand structure built in the Elizabethan style. However, it was later modified to resemble an Italian palazzo, giving it a unique architectural blend that is sure to captivate visitors. As a Grade I listed building, it holds significant historical and architectural value.

The Historical Significance of Lyme Hall

The property of Lyme has a rich history dating back to 1398 when it was granted to the first Piers Legh and his wife Margaret by Richard II as a reward for their deeds in the Battle of Crécy. The current palace was built in the 16th century by Sir Piers VII, making it a site of historical significance.

The Natural Beauty of Lyme Park

Lyme Park is home to 17 acres of Victorian gardens, featuring a sunken parterre, an Edwardian rose garden, a lake, and a ravine garden. Additionally, the park encompasses a medieval deer park, with herds of red and fallow deer, covering nearly 1,400 acres of parkland, marshes, and woods. This makes it a perfect destination for nature lovers and those seeking tranquility.
