Tatton Mere

Highlight • Natural

Great ride through Tatton Park. Often lots of deer to be seen, particularly in the early mornings before the crowds arrive. Watch out at weekends when there a lot of cars, walkers, prams, other cyclists and dogs around.

Tatton Park

Highlight • Parking

A regal 18th-century country house set amongst 809 hectares (2,000 acres) of manicured gardens and parkland. The estate dates back at least to the 15th century when it was owned by the Stanley family. In 1598, the Lord Chancellor of England Sir Thomas Egerton bought the estate and it remained in his family until the late 20th century when it was gifted to the National Trust.

Today, you can visit the estate all year round. Check the website if there are any events as the estate holds hundreds of events annually including the Royal Horticultural Society flower show.

The parkland is open from 10am - 7pm. Entrance costs £7 per adult. You can find more information, here: tattonpark.org.uk

Tatton Mere Lake is a special place situated on the northern edge of Knutsford in Cheshire. The lake is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and RAMSAR site and it dates back to the glacial period of the last ice age!

The lake is surrounded by beautiful open grassland that features plenty of wildlife, including deer, sheep, and ducks, and many picnic spots where you can take a seat to enjoy the scenery.
