Location Map

The Hall,

Lyme Hall was originally a Tudor house until the Venetian Architect Leoni turned it into an Italianate palace in the early 18th Century. It stands in a fine park with commanding views of the Cheshire Plains amongst ornate gardens.

The house is set in impressive gardens and there is a guide leaflet available to help you make the most of this part of the visit.
The Dutch Garden as you see it now was laid out in 1860 as an Italian garden with a variety of schemes using summer bedding plants.Four statues represent the elements of Earth, Fire, Air and Water in the form of cherubs.
It is probably called the Dutch Garden after its earlier form when it had a cascade modelled upon that at Chatsworth and a canal pond with fountain.
