John Byrne Leicester-Warren, Baron de Tabley was born April 3d 1835 and brought up at Tabley House, Knutsford. He was educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford and was a part-time Lieutenant in the Cheshire Yeomanry. He was a shy, scholarly man of many talents. Known as "The O'Byrne', he was an established poet and novelist and friend of the poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson. His book 'Poems Dramatic and Lyrical' was published to critical acclaim. Among his other interests were Book Plates and Coins but above all he loved the countryside and studied meticulously the wild flowers of this area. His book "The Flora of Cheshire,' published in 1899 after his death, is still a standard reference book for botanists. He had a special interest in the bramble (Blackberry) family and it is said that the one growing on his grave is of a variety identified by him. It is probably Rubus laciniatus, a cutleaf variety. He died of influenza in 1895, unmarried, and since there was no heir the barony became extinct. He is buried beneath this Celtic cross which was commissioned by his sister Eleanor who is also buried here, and had these lines inscribed: 'Peace! There is nothing more for men to speak! A larger wisdom than this our lips decrees. From that dumb mouth no longer reason seek No censure reaches that eternal peace And that immortal ease'

The house was refaced in 1585 and was built for Sir Ralph Mainwaring. There have been alterations and additions to the house in around 1653–56, around 1764, around 1944 and in 1966. It was originally planned as an H- shaped house but this plan was abandoned around 1590. In 1654 a stable block was built. The alterations in the 1760s included a wing at a right-angle to the house (added c.1764), making it a T-shape, and a new stable block and coach house. In 1919 the Mainwaring family sold the house to John Graham Peel and it was sold again to Harry Brooks in 1940. During the Second World War the house was requisitioned and used by General George Patton and his staff. The hall was also used as a prisoner of war camp, and as a resettlement home for allied prisoners of war and for English people repatriated after the partition of India. It was returned to the Brooks family in 1950. The 1760s wing was in poor condition and was demolished in 1964, taking the house from 21 to 11 bedrooms, other modifications were made too, including a new entrance.

A lovely, quaint little Robbie’s pub - steeped in history. BELLS OF PEOVER AT THIS PUBLIC HOUSE IN THE LEAD UP TO D-DAY 1944 GENERAL PATTON & GENERAL EISENHOWER MADE THEIR FINAL PLANS OVER LUNCH FOR OPERATION OVERLORD THE BATTLE OF NORMANDY

Generally harmless, but do keep dogs on leads. The park puts up signage of when to stay well clear.

A church has been on this site since at least 1269

Nice views of river and bank, good place for your dogs to wash down.

Pavement Lane – don't come here with a road bike. Very rocky, muddy, and ends in a deadend. Got to lift my bike over a fence and trail back to main road vai farm yard.

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.

Deer roam around, seem very friendly and not startled at all by calm dogs.

Enjoy delicious cakes and coffee in a large seating area in the courtyard of The Stables. This is a great place to fuel up before your delightful walk around Tatton Park.

Great museum display inside.

mostly path that goes around or in to church depending which route you take

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.

A beautiful church , you'll enjoy the pave section leading up to it :)

A fantastic find, off the lane, worth riding on a bit of gravel and cobbles (fine on my road bike, so don't let that put you off). The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building. The stonework on the obviously older part of the church is amazing.

Look out for the deer! Also some fun trails around the perimeter to look for if your on your CX bike.

Best not to get too close!

Entrance to the park in a vehicle costs around £7 or you can buy monthly, quarterly or annual passes. Toilets and cafe etc are well located but worth throwing wellies in as some of the areas are really muddy!
