Lyme Park, Cheshire Lyme Park is a Tudor house transformed into an Italianate palace, famous for its role as Pemberley, Mr Darcy’s home, in the BBC’s Pride and Prejudice.

You visit Elizabeth’s Peak District and Pemberley and the village of Lambton. You then go on to visit the wonderful estate of Pemberley to see the grounds, THAT pond and the first sight of the house as seen by Elizabeth. Tour ends Fridays at 5pm at Stockport Railway Station.

As Mrs. Gardiner explains, the primary intention in visiting Pemberley was to see the grounds, not the house. “If it were mere- ly a fine house richly furnished,’ said she, “I should not care about it myself; but the grounds are delightful. They have some of the finest woods in the country’” (240).

Pemberley is the fictional country estate owned by Fitzwilliam Darcy, the male protagonist in Jane Austen’s 1813 novel Pride and Prejudice. It is located near the fictional town of Lambton, and believed by some to be based on Lyme Park, south of Disley in Cheshire.

Money is very important in Pride and Prejudice as it’s generally regarded as a sign of one’s social status. It isn’t enough that the Bennet daughters are to be married off; they must be married off to men with money. The marriage market is precisely that: an economic exchange between respectable families.
