Dippers and marsh tits, beautiful climbs with fab views. Excellent visitor centre at Ilam Country Park
Thank you for writing a review about your recent visit to Ilam Hall. The Hall istelf is owned by the National Trust but it is operated indepently by the Youth Hostel Association, so I will be happy to pass on your feedback. I'm sure they will be delighted to receive it. It sounds like you had agreat time in the snow. Ilam Park is beautiful all year year, but is extra special when the snow falls. We hope to welcome you back to Ilam Park soon.
This National Trust park is always delightful to visit. We walked to the church which contains a fantastic white marble memorial to David Pike Watts. This was followed by a walk alongside the River Manifold which equals the Dove in its charm. Lovely, even in winter.
Lovely gardens and a pretty circular walk. Good tea room. The surrounding area is beautiful. Plenty of parking space.
Lovely walks, great wildlife, great priced car park and tea room considering its national trust. Everyone was welcoming. Throughly recommend for nice country walks and a cup of tea
I cannot think of a nicer place to while away a few hours than in Ilam Park. The view from the gardens across to the church and beyond is one of my favourites. The NT tea room serves great food and is not to expensive. There are many walks around the site and along the river. Absolutely lovely.
Beautiful house and grounds, also dog-friendly; grounds open Christmas Day, shops closed but toilets open, which was useful.
Such a wonderful spot, feel relaxed as soon as you park the car and wander down to the river, over the ancient bridge and off you go - short stroll or longer stretch of the legs.Don't forget to call at the restaurant and shop before you set off home, with a view to calling in again of course.
great place for a stroll around the grounds and estate village attached to this stately house - National Trust members park for free
As regular visitors to the area we are never disappointed we have never set off from here walking before so thought we would give it a trySome lovely walk from here you just pick how far you wish to walk and a difficult levelThe park and house with gardens are very attractive to walk around with the river meandering behindA very nice small church in the grounds all surrounded by the wonderful peak district
