Tatton Park and Gardens, Knutsford (one of Cheshire's Gardens of Distinction)

Tatton Park - 1910 Japanese garden. Tea house and Japanese acer (Acer palmatum) breaking into leaf

Tatton Park, Knutsford, Cheshire, WA16 6QN

Tel: 01625 534400


There's enough here at this National Trust property to keep you occupied for several days, never mind several hours. It's a country estate with a thousand acres of deer-park, plus meres, an authentic Japanese garden, a medieval hall (the Old Hall), a Georgian mansion (Tatton Hall) and a 1930s farm, not forgetting the tea rooms. The park is free for cyclists. Be warned that the RHS Flower Show held annually in July dramatically increases the traffic around the area and in the parkland. See the map below
