Sir George Booth built Dunham Massey Hall in 1616. This manor, now open to the public, is full of beautiful objects and richly decorated rooms. The library is particularly spectacular.

Adjoining the manor is a pretty garden bordering by a pond. It is a nice place to walk in good weather and take nice pictures. But the highlight of this place is the deer park that borders the manor. If you are lucky enough you can see them sleeping, eating or even fighting in the undergrowth of the property.

There are also several hikes that start from or go through Dunham Massey and that allow to visit the surrounding countryside unfortunately we haven’t yet had the opportunity to try some of them.

We enjoyed visiting Dunham Massey but it is true that this property is less impressive than its neighbour Tatton Park or the beautiful garden of Quarry Bank Mill. Anyway it is still a pleasant place to walk and its park allows people to see deers quite easily.

Read about our visit of Tatton Park and the Quarry Bank Mill.
