Views of the gardens at Lyme Park above, the
photo to the left is the colourful sunken Dutch Garden. After being the
location for 'Pemberley' in the 1995 version of Pride and Prejudice visitor
numbers here soared as Lyme Park became a Mecca for fans of the series. |

More photos above from the Orangery including
the mosaic floor featured in the centre photo. Lyme Park is said to be
haunted by a entire funeral procession, that of Sir Piers II who was killed
in battle in Paris in 1422 but brought back to Cheshire for burial. It is
reported that the procession is followed by a Lady dressed all in white, not
Sir Pier's wife but his mistress Blanche. |

There is a Victorian steam powered 'Golden
Gallopers' at Lyme from 15th May until 6th June 2004, the ride was first
built in 1895. Even if you don't enter the house or gardens (no dogs in
both) the parkland at Lyme is a great place for walking and is home to herds
of Red and Fallow Deer. |
