Lyme Park, Derbyshire

On a beautiful day in May, we visited Lyme Park , a National Trust property at Disley in Cheshire

Lyme Hall was originally a remote hunting lodge. In Tudor times a house was built there and this was turned into an Italianate palace by the Venetian architect Leoni in the early 18th Century. It stands in a fine park with commanding views of the Cheshire Plains amongst ornate gardens. The house was once a home of the Legh family - later Lords Newton - who also had large estates in mid-Lancashire.

The house and gardens became more famous when used by the BBC in their adaptation of Jane Austen's 'Pride and Prejudice' - as it was chosen to be the home of Mr D'Arcy, Pemberley House.
