Tatton Park

Tatton Park is an historic estate in rural Cheshire, England, which was owned by the Egerton family for 360 years. It is now one of the most popular tourist attractions in the north west and home to a deer park, a Neo Classical Mansion, landscaped gardens, a working farm and 1,000 acres of stunning parkland. This blog started out as a record of the gardeners' year but now a number of people would like to contribute! We hope you enjoy reading about our day to day lives at Tatton.

Tatton 365 - Mark Williamson

May 2012

Things are moving fast with Tatton 365. Spring has passed and Summer is now here, albeit not very convincingly. Life at Tatton is getting busier, with the events calendar in full flow now. All the behind the scenes work over the winter is paying off and the army of staff and volunteers have got the estate up to scratch.

Visually, everything is changing so quickly. The colours and tones are changing weekly as Spring turns to Summer and there have been new arrivals on a daily basis on both farm and estate.

I have the constant frustration of not being able to spend as much time as I would like shooting the project, but that was always going to be the case. My visits are always extended by an hour or two. I think it's swiftly becoming an obsession. However, a healthy obsession and my back up hard drives are quickly filling up.
