Dunham Massey pairs an early-Georgian mansion with one of the North’s great plantsman’s gardens, on the Cheshire edge near Altrincham. The winter garden is the star — one of the largest in Britain, planted for scent, bark and early colour when little else is out — and it’s all wrapped in a medieval deer park still grazed by fallow deer. It’s National Trust, open across most of the year. Hale station is about 3km to the east.
