The Capesthorne acres, which surround the Hall with woodland, parkland, and lakes, provide a wonderful, relaxing space for visitors on public open days as well as corporate and private guests.
Through the Milanese Gates, opposite the Chapel, the tranquil gardens, alongside the adjoining lakes, are full of colourful perennials merging with the more unusual 18th century plants, shrubs and trees.
But the natural beauty of Capesthorne also leads to intriguing glimpses of its man-made past with the remains of the Ice House, the Old Boat House and the curious Swallow Hole.
