Lyme Park has been named among the best National Trust sites to visit this half-term.

That is according to a new study carried out by Fruity King, who analysed all 610 National Trust locations.

Each site was given a score based on the number of facilities and accessibility features available.

Lyme Park claimed the number 30 spot, with a score of 12 for facilities and 12 for accessibility, both out of 20.

A spokesperson for Fruity King commented on the study: "This list of National Trust sites gives visitors a quick indication of which heritage spots offer the most variety to guests, and how accessible each site is."

Although just outside Stockport borough, Lyme Park is a popular day out destination for local residents.

Much of the current building dates from the early 18th century, but there has been a hunting lodge on the site since the middle ages.

The design is an interesting mix of ebullient baroque flourish and classical palladian order and symmetry.
