A family-friendly day out at Lyme

Getting around Lyme:

• It's a long walk across Lyme, so check if the free shuttle bus is running to drive you between the admissions hut, house and main car park area.
• The garden is a dog and pram friendly walk, with step free access from the North Front of the house. The Timber Yard, Crow Wood Play Area, and Mill Pond are a popular area for families.
• Walk past the house, along East Drive to see views of The Cage and go deer spotting as you pass the deer sanctuary.

Buggy-storage:

• Buggy parking and free lockers to store heavy or bulky items can be found at the house. Storing prams are a £1 refundable deposit.
• Front-carrying baby slings and hip-carrying infant seats are also available to borrow from the Ticket Office at the house.

Pick n mix children's lunch

There’s a 'pick and mix' style picnic box available for children in each cafe. Choose a sandwich, drink and a selection of three snacks for £5.25. There are highchairs available to use indoors – ask a member of staff to bring one to your table.

High chairs

High chairs are available to borrow at each of the cafés - please ask a member of staff to bring one to your table.

Warm baby changing facilities can be located in the Timber Yard and House, near to the cafés.

Lyme is part of the Breastfeeding Welcome Scheme and breastfeeding is welcome everywhere at Lyme. For those that would prefer some privacy or a quiet space, a baby-feeding room is available between the café and the toilets at the house.
