Biddulph Grange, Congleton Cheshire
Close to Macclesfield, Manchester and Stoke and Trent Biddulph Grange is a small stately home kept by the National Trust. The gardens have undergone a comprehensive scheme of rennovations and are back to their former glory. Themed gardens depicting contries such as China and Egypt the areas of the garden are interesing to explore and are immaginatively linked with stone tunnels, man made caves and along the great wall of China.
Make sure you visit the shop and buy some fish food because the lilly ponds at the front of the house are full of huge magnificent carp who will eagerly come and feed almost out of your hand.
The tea rooms are excellent and run like a very traditional quality establishment in the old billiard room. This is a bright and impressive building, even more outstanding though is the selection of cakes!
