What a little gem Tatton Park is! I say little, we probably only saw a quarter of it on our visit the other day..and we whiled away a good 4 hours…
There is lots to visit, the farm, the mansion house, and the garden not to mention the extensive grounds with loads of deer, what an unexpected treat, in a world of concrete and cars..under a huddle of trees hundreds of deer going about their business, doing deery thinks like lying down in the shade .and..well they were just lying down, but it was a beautiful sight.
We had a two for one voucher for the gardens, so my sister and I whiled away several hours toddling around the acres and acres of garden…posing for photos under the giant rhubarb plants, getting lost in the maze (with a baby who had filled his nappy) and singing rose garden in a mysterious echo chamber that was there as part of the Arts exhibition.
We stopped for refreshment at the restaurant/cafe and whilst the food was good and fairly reasonably priced, I can only assume that the apples in my apple juice were diamond encrusted as it cost the best part of £3! (I haven’t passed any diamonds to date, as far as I can tell)
There were so many little buildings, I could have taken up residence quite happily in any of them…maybe one day I’ll meet an Earl or maybe a long lost relative will get in touch to tell me I now own a mansion and a country estate like Tatton?! Are there any Geordie aristocracy?..Harry’s still available! I feel a letter coming on….
“Boris is gazing in at number 10” A frightfully posh lady we followed.
