Tatton Hall was built in 1716 with improvements made in the early 1800s and again in the late 1800s. The centrepiece of Tatton Park, the house is owned by the National Trust but looked after and managed by Cheshire County Council.

The circular route is easy to walk on and is also great fun for children.

Pennington Flash lake and the surrounding woodland and paths are a local nature reserve and country park. A Flash is the term for a lake formed in a depression caused by mining subsidence. It's interesting that the industrial past has created beautiful places like this.

The grand estate at Tatton Park boasts a neo-classical mansion, 50 acres of landscaped gardens, 1,000 acres of ancient deer park, a medieval Old Hall and even a rare breed farm. A fun day out to visit - or just take in the views as you cycle by. Looked after by the National Trust, tickets are required for all entries including NT members.

Great tearoom and quaint village. Nice stroll round the reservoir (about 30 minutes).

Lymm dam is well worth a visit, really picturesque
