Beautiful place. ^^ Pros: •plenty of paths to wonder around and spend day with kid •You can wander around for few hours and look for deers 🦌 🦌 🦌. we didn't see much deers . only once from far far distance but maybe next time will be the lucky one. :) 🤞🏻🍀 •beautiful buildings surrounded beautiful nature, plenty of trees 🌳 •winter time is more plain then spring , I guess, but is perfect spot for ppl with kids a lot parent got sledge with them , so kids have fun •if You love trees 🌳 and deers 🦌 this place is your place. •if is not enough space in carpark you can park on street , bit park vise to don't get fine,so avoid double yellow line etc (we spotted that few divers ignored it and they get fine 🤷🏻♀️) •few really nice pub, restaurant around the park so after walk you can enjoy nice food and drink Cons: •We visited on weekend so it was quiet busy, lots off ppl •we didn't have space to park as they closed gate at specific time. We was unlucky. And we take Few rounds around park to find finnaly spot to park, on street. Was really busy there. •Coffee shop stuff (in park) ignored us for few minutes while we was waiting ), in front of till, in front of them (!), with snacks to buy for my 6year old. We waited there ages just to find out they closed now and they cannot sell for us nothing else! How rude it was! this was a waist of time and such of ignorance from their stuff. If they say straight away: 'sorry guys we're closed now' it will be such a difference of experience, especially when we was waitng with kid. This is a big negative for our experience . I mean the coffee shop. We will be not back there to support this coffee shop again. In conclusion even with bad experience from coffee staff this park is beautiful, the building there are really nice too, so in the end it's worth to go there . We will try to visit again but during week trying to avoid weekend, and definitely on spring time to see full magic of the place. :)

Beautiful hall, gardens and woodland. As you will obviously know, in quantum chemistry, the Dunham expansion is an expression for the rotational-vibrational energy levels of a diatomic molecule: 𝐸(𝑣,𝐽,Ω)=∑𝑘,𝑙𝑌𝑘,𝑙(𝑣+1/2)𝑘[𝐽(𝐽+1)−Ω2]𝑙, where 𝑣 and 𝐽 are vibrational and rotational quantum numbers, and Ω is the projection of 𝐽 along the internuclear axis in the body-fixed frame. The constant coefficients 𝑌𝑘,𝑙 are called Dunham parameters with 𝑌0,0 representing the electronic energy. The expression derives from a semiclassical treatment of a perturbational approach to deriving the energy levels. The Dunham parameters are typically calculated by a least-squares fitting procedure of energy levels with the quantum numbers. The Dunham expansion, though an abstract concept, must have somehow influenced and joined forces with Massey Brothers Limited, a building and manufacturing company. Formed by the brothers William, Isaac and Thomas Massey, who were timber merchants and building contractors based in Pemberton, Greater Manchester, 2 miles west of Wigan. During the first 15 years they built schools, mills, cinemas and houses. They were very active during WWII with the building of Ministry of Supply 'utility' bodies for many operators in England, Scotland and Wales. After the war, the company became increasingly busy with repairing and rebuilding bomb damaged property. Thus, Dunham Massey Hall came into being. N.B. I am mentally challenged, so what relevance or truth there is in the above information, I do not know. Therefore, please ignore, or you will waste 5 minutes of your life reading it.

This was a dazzling light show, everywhere spotlights cascaded colour onto the Flora and forna, and there were even giant white flowers which changed colour. The rose gardens were amazing, inside the walled gardens were plastic roses by the hundreds that changed colour in sequence. This was Blackpool illuminations with a twist, as you walked along the several mile long trail, slipping through fairy light covered tunnels. Great for young children with giant red robins and other creatures, it was a magical mystery tour with music serenading you, great fun for all the family, admission at £23 adults not the cheapest but definitely value for money( Includes car parking too) We'll look forward to revisit again later in the year. We loved it, a great festive period experience. We'll done National Trust and Dunham Massey! Well, back again last night, as we braved the crisp cold night air and eagerly sought the food, we tried a Greek mixed kebab with chicken and pork, salad and fries delicious! We proceeded down the trail and highlight for me were the chandeliers covered in snow suspended above the path, such fantasy and different than last year. I also liked the jazzy multi coloured laser show smattering us with colour as we walked across their path. We enjoyed tasting large marshmallows washed down with hot chocolate topped with fresh cream. Great night out and even a real Father Christmas at the end in front of the hall, who was straight out of a victorian storybook and very convincing and chatty too. I was glad to get out of the chill after a great start to Christmas 🎄

Thursday 13th March 2025 Dunham Massey Hall, usually known simply as Dunham Massey, is an English country house in the parish of Dunham Massey in the district of Trafford, near Altrincham, Greater Manchester. During World War I it was temporarily used as the Stamford Military Hospital. It was designated a Grade I listed building on 5 March 1959. It has been owned by the National Trust since the death of Roger Grey, 10th and last Earl of Stamford in 1976. Dunham Massey was re-built in the early 18th century by George Booth, 2nd Earl of Warrington. He had inherited an older mansion from his father, which was in a terrible state of repair. There were significant alterations, especially internally, at the start of the 20th century. It has historic formal gardens and a deer park. The park and gardens are listed Grade II on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. There is an in-depth history to this property and its residents on the National Trust website. There is a large car park with a number of disabled spaces allocated, a visitors centre with a cafe and toilets, A number of gardens to explore, and a mill with a water wheel which used to grind corn and later converted into a sawmill. There are guided tours of the House and also of the gardens available. I highly recommend a visit to Dunham Massey. A good family day out for both young and old.

A nice National Trust site! Ample parking space, although I suspect it needs it on weekends and school holidays! There is an entrance fee to pay on entering the area; this is charged based on vehicle type so not on quantity of people. The main mansion and gardens required further fees to be paid so my review only covers the 'public' areas; the park, the gift store, the cafeteria etc. The park is really nice with long avenues and vistas; definitely worth a visit throughout the year to experience the changing seasons and weather. The whole site is pet friendly but obviously bring the necessary items to clean up after your animal companion. There is a cafeteria near the main visitor reception, and an ice cream shop and restaurant near the stables. There are also toilets in the main reception as well as stables area. This is also a deer park so pets need to be on a leash. The deers are free roaming and you should come across a few. Be mindful that they are wild and not to be approached or petted. Also, there are areas in the park that are off limits as they are cordoned off as sanctuaries for the deer; there's no physical barrier but there are signs indicating as such. There are clear walking areas and most folks would not wander off into the undergrowth as they are quite thick. All in all, a great place for families to visit.
