Here we have a delightful mini break to Cheshire where we visit some well known stately homes.
Morning departure from your local pickup point to Tatton Park, one of the UK’s most complete estates, home to a Tudor Old Hall, Neo-Classical Mansion and 50 acres of landscaped gardens. Experience the richness and grandeur of the State Apartments, whilst extensive Servants’ Quarters and cellars give an intriguing glimpse into the domestic life of staff ‘below stairs’; where the Egerton enthusiasm for technology and innovation helped the house run like clockwork. From here we continue to the hotel.
Today we visit Salford. We begin with a river cruise taking in some of the famous sites such as Old Trafford football stadium, Media City including the ITV Studios, Imperial War Museum and the Millennium Bridge. Afterwards there will be free time for sightseeing and shopping.
Today we visit the glorious house and gardens of Lyme Park. Like many great houses, Lyme was built and rebuilt, embellished and enlarged throughout its ownership, with each generation making its mark and creating the house we see today. Explore the many rooms of the house and discover unusual objects and strange secrets as you walk through six centuries of family history. Step outside and wander amongst the lush gardens and parkland. The Orangery is not to be missed with its luscious blooms, some of which are over 150 years old. In the afternoon we return to the coach and make our way home.
