Stirring parkland and rural heritage at Tatton Park
Knutsford, Cheshire
Spot deer as you wander around ancient parkland, explore richly furnished rooms and see a real working farm at this stately home in the Cheshire countryside.
Tatton Park is a grand estate set amid 50 acres of manicured landscaped gardens and seemingly endless rolling parkland in Northern England. The richly furnished mansion reveals centuries of colourful history to its visitors, and unravels the realities of Downton Abbey-style life above and below the stairs. Wander at leisure through undulating countryside and Tatton’s glorious gardens, which include a working kitchen garden, the spectacular Japanese gardens and meet special rare breed animals at the working farm.
Top Cheshire produce and traditional English afternoon teas can be enjoyed in the idyllic Gardener’s Cottage tea rooms, complete with English country garden setting. Every July, Tatton Park hosts the Royal Horticultural Society Garden Show, and unique events such as concerts under the stars and historical reconstructions take place throughout the year.
By car, Tatton Park is just 35 minutes from Manchester and 3 hours 40 minutes from London.
