Lyme, Macclesfield
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lyme, or Lyme Handley is a small civil parish in between Disley and Stockport. It forms part of the Borough of Macclesfield. It is a greenbelt area on the suburbs of Greater Manchester attracting many visitors in the summer months for walking and picnics and in winter for sledging. The most famous feature of Lyme is its ancient tudor house built in the 1720's. This was made most famous when it featured as Mr Darcy's house in the BBC dramatisation of Pride and Prejudice. The house has 17 acres of well maintained victorian era gardens and is also open to visitors who want to go on guided tours of the three story house which also has a large collection of English clocks.
