National Trust Properties

Discover some of Cheshire's greatest country houses and gardens on a National Trust day out. From art and collections to countryside walks, find out why the National Trust looks after these special places for everyone, for ever.

Uncover centuries of drama and history at one of the North West's grandest country estates like Dunham Massey or Lyme. Or explore a different side of Cheshire's story at Quarry Bank, a rare survivor of our industrial past.

There's plenty for the family to enjoy too, with natural play areas and lots of space for the kids to run free. And don't forget to stop in at the café for a tasty treat. Anyone fancy a scone?

On weekdays you don’t need to pre-book your visit. At busier times, like weekends and school holidays, booking is recommended to guarantee entry to National Trust Properties.
