Tatton Park is a sprawling 1,000-acre historic estate in Knutsford, featuring a neo-classical mansion, medieval Old Hall, and extensive landscaped gardens. The site is home to a working farm and a deer park where herds of red and fallow deer roam freely. The mansion contains a significant collection of fine art, furniture, and family portraits accumulated by the Egerton family over four centuries. The Japanese Garden, established in 1910, is considered one of the finest examples of its kind in Europe. Visitors can explore the 18th-century pleasure grounds and the extensive glasshouses located within the walled kitchen gardens. The site operates as a partnership between the National Trust and Cheshire East Council.
