Images from our recent visit to Lyme, Disley, Cheshire, England.
(Shot raw and processed using: DxO PhotoLab Elite/ ViewPoint and Adobe Lightroom Classic/ Photoshop with TK-9 Panels).
This short stop-over broke a long-ish journey. Regular viewers will be shocked to hear it rained throughout our visit (of course it did). This is a very large estate and we could only scratch the surface - we’ll be back...

Phil and Karen
1. Positioned on the edge of the Peak District, Lyme was home to the Legh family. The estate, granted to Sir Thomas Danyers in 1346, passed to the Leghs of Lyme by marriage in 1388.
2. The current house dates back to the latter part of the 16th century. In the foreground and below is The Orangery.
3. Do Not Adjust Your Sets - Accompanying the festive decorations was ‘Animal Crackers’, designed by The Strange Train Company, an event which promised visitors would be ‘taken on a self-guided visual journey of mischievous merrymaking’...
4. Like many grand houses, Lyme was built and rebuilt, embellished and enlarged throughout its history.
5. Lyme remained in the possession of the Legh family until 1946 when it was given to the National Trust.
6. The 1,400 acre estate includes a reflecting lake, where Mr Darcy met Miss Bennet in the BBC production of “Pride and Prejudice’. (Plus, more importantly, it was also used as a location for the
Red Dwarf episode ‘Timeslides’...
