    This morning we make our way to the National Trust's Lyme Park, another of Derbyshire's fine stately homes. The 1,400 acre estate was a great sporting estate in its heyday and you can step back into Regency times in the house or enjoy a stroll in the tranquil Rose Garden. Be sure to explore the herbaceous borders next to the lake, which you may recognise from the BBC's adaptation of Pride and Prejudice.
