Lyme Park is a large estate located south of Disley, Cheshire. The estate is managed by the National Trust and consists of a mansion house surrounded by formal gardens, in a deer park in the Peak District National Park. The house is the largest in Cheshire, and is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building.
The estate was granted to Sir Thomas Danyers in 1346 and passed to the Leghs of Lyme by marriage in 1388. It remained in the possession of the Legh family until 1946 when it was given to the National Trust. The house dates from the latter part of the 16th century. Modifications were made to it in the 1720s by Giacomo Leoni, who retained some of the Elizabethan features and added others, particularly the courtyard and the south range. Further modifications were made by Lewis Wyatt in the 19th century, especially to the interior. Formal gardens were created and developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The house, gardens and park have been used as locations for filming and they are open to the public. The Lyme Caxton Missal is on display in the Library.

Lanhydrock is an impressive historic house in Cornwall. Built of local grey slate and granite around an inner courtyard, the house dates to 1640, though most of the current building was the result of rebuilding after a fire in 1881. Survivors from the earlier house are the impressive gatehouse, the 2-story porch, and north range, with a 116 foot long gallery.
Within the gallery is a superb 17th century plasterwork ceiling, illustrating scenes from the Old Testament mixed with depictions of unusual beasts.
Lanhydrock was the property of the Robartes family from 1620 to 1969, when the estate passed to the National Trust. The house is huge, and 50 rooms are open to visitors. The Trust has recreated the atmosphere of an Edwardian country house at Lanhydrock, and the restored kitchen and servant's quarters make a distinctive contrast with the glittering family rooms. A further contrast is provided by the children's nursery rooms.
Look skywards and notice the monkeys clambering on rope ladders over Diani Beah road? That's normal: 26 metal boardwalks, strung from tree to tree along the road, allow the monkeys to cross undisturbed, without having to worry about the traffic and the risk of being run over. In order to get a better acquainted with their habits, and see them close to, you must go to the ‘Colobus Trust’ on Diani Beach Road. The centre, as well as looking after and nursing these little creatures back to health – a cage in the trees serves as a veterinary laboratory where the animals are looked after by experts – also takes responsibility for insulating electric cable, a serious threat to the monkeys, and reducing poaching.

Per incontrare i piccoli Colobo, basta percorrere la lunga Diani Beach Road che attraversa l'omonimo villaggio e guardare in alto, verso il cielo. 26 passerelle metalliche, predisposte tra un albero e l'altro ai lati della strada, permettono alle agili scimmie di attraversare indisturbate, senza preoccuparsi del traffico urbano e senza il rischio di essere investite. Per conoscere meglio, invece, la loro realtà e vederli da vicino, bisogna recarsi al “Colobus Trust”, sempre lungo la Diani Beach Road dove il centro, oltre ad ospitare e curare questi piccoli animali, organizza visite guidate. Una gabbia in mezzo agli alberi del parco funge da laboratorio veterinario dove le scimmie vengono curate da dottori esperti. Uno dei compiti del centro è anche quello di isolare i cavi elettrici, seria minaccia per le scimmie, e ridurre il bracconaggio.

Stablemen, commonly known as Rough Riders, in the yard, ride the lay down horses. Historically the tactic of laying down ones horse emerged when scouts could move fast into enemy territory and then "disappear" in the long grass when they laid their horses down.
They would also use their horses as a firing post, in an emergency, as they would offer some cover from fire. Their old skills are an integral part of the routine today
