TATTON PARK
Tatton Park is an exquisite
estate complete with a Tudor
hall, neo-classical mansion
and 50 acres of neatly
landscaped gardens. The
home of the Egerton family
for 400 years, the estate is
set in an ancient deer park.
The National Trust has
overseen the property since
1958, and today it features
a working farm complete
with rare breed animals plus
Stableyard, a cheery shop
and cafe. There’s enough to
see and do at Tatton Park to
comfortably occupy a whole
day; the mansion is probably
a good place to start, with its
major collection of paintings,
books and fine furniture. The
Maurice Egerton exhibition
recounts the life and times
of the last baron to reside in
the mansion, while a range
of temporary exhibitions
pop up throughout the year.
Some visitors will prefer
to head straight to the Old
Hall, a Scheduled Ancient
Monument of some beauty.
As the park’s oldest building,
it’s predictably got its share
of
spine-tingling
ghost
stories. Popular for weddings
as well as family days out,
Tatton Park is a gem set in
the Cheshire countryside.
