Lyme Park

Lyme Park is a 1,400-acre estate managed by the National Trust in Disley, Cheshire, on the edge of the Peak District. The estate includes a mansion, extensive gardens, woods, and a deer park. You will recognise the house and gardens where Mr Darcy met Miss Bennet in the 2005 BBC production of ‘Pride and Prejudice’.

Dogs are welcome in all areas of the park and formal gardens, although restrictions concerning being on or off lead vary at times of the year, and you should check at the visitor centre. There is an all-year secure off-lead dog-walking area in Knightslow Wood and a route through Pursefield Wood.

Only assistance dogs are allowed inside the house.

Facilities include a visitor centre, a gift shop with dog treats, and cafes. The visitor centre provides information about the estate’s history, attractions, and upcoming events. The gift shop offers a selection of souvenirs, books, and gifts, while the cafe serves refreshments and light meals using locally sourced ingredients. Dogs are allowed in the cafes but at restricted tables and always on a lead.
