Lyme Park, Estate and house museum in Lyme Handley, England.
The Lyme Park estate spans 1,400 acres of land containing formal gardens, ancient woodlands, and open moorlands across the Cheshire countryside.
The property transferred to the Legh family through marriage in 1388 and remained their residence until 1946 when they donated it to the National Trust.
The interior collections include the Lyme Caxton Missal from 1487, England's oldest pendulum clock from 1658, and an extensive array of timepieces.
The estate provides multiple walking routes through the Gritstone Trail, designated parking areas, and refreshment options at the Timber Yard Café.
A resident herd of red deer roams freely throughout the expansive parkland, continuing a tradition that dates back to the 14th century.
