Dunham Massey Hall and estate is located near to Manchester, and the estate is maintained by National Trust. The hall itself dates from the 1800s, and the estate is famous for the deer park. Visitors can walk the grounds and deer park, gardens. and visit the house and a small mill. The hall was used in World War II as a military hospital. The National Trust took ownership of the property in the 1970s.
To get to Dunham Massey house, visitors must pass the restaurant and old stables.
The house is split into the servants' quarters and the main house. I first checked out the servants' quarters. There were different rooms for food preparation and cooking and cleaning.
Afterwards, I toured the rooms in the house.
The state bed was owned by the family, and these were important possessions passed down to family members. It was restored and repaired to display to visitors.
After the house, I went outside. A tour of the mill was starting, but unfortunately it had already started by the time I arrived.
I saw deer walk right up and lying in the grass in front of the hall.
I had a quick look around the gardens as well, but due to the time of the year, there was not much going on. A few autumnal flowers could still be seen.
This was my first visit to Dunham Massey, and I would like to visit again.
