Wet and Windy at Lyme Park

The unpleasant weather continues. The strong cold wind brings with it rain and sunny intervals. It's definitely not a day for long walks on top of Mam Tor and along the Edale Valley.  Instead, we decide to visit Lyme Park which is a country house surrounded by a 17 acre garden with roaming deer.

Lyme Park was used as the backdrop in the BBC's Pride and Prejudice. You can go inside but you can't take photos so we've only got external shots. There are many rooms each with its own history, portraits and antiques from 1600's to 1800's. There was an interesting exhibition on about Mary, Queen of Scots who was supposed to have been imprisoned there for a few months.  Lyme Park was also supposed to be the place where plans where made to get rid of the monarchy.

Tomorrow we are heading for Snowdonia in Wales and there is a chance of snow!

Our next campsite, Beddgelert, has no WIFI so I will update when I can.

Apparently, there is a river running through the campsite and there is a possibility in seeing trout and otters. So, the fishing rod and binoculars are coming out for sure.
