Imposing house, used as Pemberley in TV’s ‘Pride & Prejudice,’ with 1,300-acre estate & deer park. Lyme woods are ablaze with autumn colour, and the yellows and browns of the surrounding moorland landscape stretch away to distant horizons. Explore the vast estate, spot the rutting red deer, and keep warm with a hot drink from the cafe this autumn. Whether you want to shake off the cobwebs and take a brisk walk on a cold and frosty morning, or prefer a light amble around the gardens, there is no better time than winter to visit Lyme and get a breath of fresh air.
Bare trees expose hidden views and quieter days really make it feel like you can get away from it all. If you’re not sure where to turn, pick up a Winter Walks leaflet from the ticket office for a stroll to The Cage, or for those more adventurous a ramble to the Lantern. Look out for the stags rearing up on their hind legs to reach the branches with their antlers and knock down more food. From October onwards the breeding season, known as the rut, begins. During this time there is a change in dynamic in the park and the males can often be seen testing each other’s strength and locking hours, they also be heard ¡bellowing¢ during this season.
