Capesthorne Hall
We arrived just in time for lunch, my coronation chicken sandwich was delicious. After lunch we had an enjoyable afternoon with a visit to the house followed by a walk round the gardens and woodland.
It was good to visit after over 30 years of driving past the hall when visiting relatives in the Manchester area.
