The Trentham Estate

The Trentham Estate stands on the grounds of an erstwhile priory. Home of the Leveson family from the mid-16th to the early 19th Century, the estate was elaborately refurbished by its aristocratic occupants until it became the seat of the Duke of Sutherland in the late 19th Century. The Trentham Hall was the property's most unique proposition back then, albeit in ruins now, the structure still delineates tales of its bygone resplendence. The Italianate gardens that surround the estate, are its yet another striking feature, permeated with blooms and captivating tinges of green, the expanse is a sight to behold. Though devoid of residents, the estate teems with frolic thanks to the Barbary macaques that call the Trentham Monkey Forest their home. Over 100 in numbers, these primates make for a must-visit attraction, especially for families visiting the region.
