Mid-Week Walk: West Lyme Park
Overview
A walk that takes in the western side of Lyme Park, arguably the best combination walk in the Park! It visits the highlights of this beautiful area, such as the area at the rear of the main house and the rarely visited hunting lodge in the south west corner of Lyme Park. En route the scenery is constantly changing – canals, woodland, fantastic views, pretty valleys and parkland. We will stop for a picnic along the way so please bring a packed lunch. As ever, please bring your walking boots.
