Group Tour Operator and DMC for Cheshire
Cheshire’s Great Houses
Cheshire is well known for its country estates and majestic houses nestled in beautiful green countryside that can be enjoyed at any time of the year. In this Cheshire’s Great Houses short break we visit two of the best: Lyme Park and Tatton Park. Lyme Park is a great estate with a lavishly decorated house and fine gardens, and Tatton Park, an 18th Century House, opulently decorated with a grand array of antiques and furniture. We also visit the architectural conundrum that’s Little Moreton Hall, Britain’s most famous timber framed, moated Tudor manor house.

Suggested itinerary by coach
Day 1
Travel to your hotel and Little Moreton Hall
Arrive in Cheshire and enjoy an afternoon visit to Little Moreton Hall, Britain’s most famous timber-framed, moated Tudor manor house. The house, with its drunkenly reeling south front, Elizabethan long gallery and Great Hall has defied architectural logic for more than 500 years. We are sure you will remember your time at Little Moreton Hall for its history and beauty.
Day 2
Lyme Park
This morning we visit Lyme Park, a great estate with a lavishly decorated house and fine gardens, best known as ‘Pemberley’ in the 1995 adaptation of ‘Pride and Prejudice’. On entering Lyme Park, you feel as if you are entering grandeur and sophistication. The long sweeping drive sets the scene. At the end of the driveway is the magnificent Lyme house. Its exterior courtyard is worthy of a photograph where you may sneak a view over the gardens to the rear. For any visit to Lyme Park, it is wise to spend time at leisure walking in the gardens and visiting the glasshouses. We will have lunch in one of two eateries before leaving this wonderful estate.
Day 3
Tatton Park including refreshments then return home
Before you head home, we visit Tatton Park. The early 18th century house sits amid a landscaped deer park and is opulently decorated with a grand array of antiques and furniture. From the steps of Tatton grand mansion, you will have a magnificent view of the grounds and ornamental gardens. Once you have explored the gardens and possibly got lost in the maze, you may want to visit the Gardener’s Cottage in the courtyard where they will serve ‘Tatton’s Treats’ traybake including tea and coffee.
We will then return home.
