Tatton Park has been awarded the title of Cheshire’s large visitor attraction of the year in 2009 and is one of the North West’s most popular heritage attractions with around 800,000 visits made each year to the 1,000 acres of deer park, the Mansion, Gardens, Old Hall, Farm and events. It has a history going back to Bronze Age farming and has been home to herds of deer since the 13th century but in the late Tudor period Tatton was acquired by the Egerton family who owned the land until the last Lord Egerton died in 1958.
