The original cage was built by warrior priest Sir Piers V in 1524. It was used either as a hunting lodge or a watchtower.

Allegedly its name is down to its use as a holding prison for poachers awaiting trial.

March 15, 2025,View point above Lyme Park – The Cage loop from Hockley

A lovely walk with far reaching views all around from The Cage. Easy paths. No stiles

March 17, 2024,Loop around Lyme Park

A lovely circular walk from the car park at Lyme Park. Dogs on leads within the park due to the deer but plenty of places for well behaved dogs to be off lead once you’re outside the park.

May 10, 2025,Circular Hike from Disley to Lyme Hall

This is a pleasant 4.6 mile walk on a sunny day like today. St Mary's Church was consecrated 500 years ago The hike takes you through mixed landscape to the iconic Lyme Hall and Lyme Cage. There's a rail station at Disley and some great pubs.
