Lyme Park, Cheshire

Castles and Palaces

You might recognise Lyme – or rather, its lake – from the starring role it played in the 1995 BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, when Colin Firth as Darcy emerged from the lake and sent a million hearts fluttering. Lyme’s glorious Italianate facade and lavish Regency interiors tend to have the same effect.

Visitors can dress up in period costume, take a peek at Truelove the butler’s rooms, and browse in the library, where the Lyme Missal prayer book is conserved. Printed by William Caxton in 1487, it is the National Trust’s most precious printed book. Outside, a medieval herd of red deer roam the beautiful estate, nestled on the edge of the Peak District.
