Dunham Massey's red brick house seen across the still lake, framed by overhanging oak branches

One day, two National Trust sites. This time Dunham Massey.

This is a larger site than Speke Hall with a house, gardens and deer park. And with plenty of deer in it to excite the furry one. Especially the deer who ventured into the area around the buildings.

The Dunham Massey orangery, a brick building with tall arched windows, seen from the lawn with a lily pond in front

The gardens were lovely. The area around the orangery and the building itself were particularly pleasing. It’s a place with plenty of places to stop and stare.
