One of the grandest buildings in Cheshire,
Lyme Park was originally a Tudor house and transformed into an
Italianate palace by the Venetian architect Leoni. Parts of the
Elizabethan interior still survive, and can be seen in contrast
with later rooms displaying Mortlake tapestries and Grinling
Gibbon wood - carving. The house is set in several hundred acres
of parkland and woodland where deer abound. It is bordered by
a sunken Dutch garden, rose gardens and a great conservatory
set above an attractive lake. The hunting tower or " Cage
"standing on a low ridge overlooking the hall, offers the
visitor the splendid view of the Cheshire Plain, the whole of
Greater Manchester and the foothills of Snowdonia. (A National
