Carden Park is a luxury countryside resort set within 1,000 acres of rolling Cheshire countryside. It’s one of the North’s leading destinations for relaxation and outdoor pursuits, known for its award-winning spa, championship golf courses and fine dining at the in-house restaurant, The Vines.

The estate boasts two 18-hole golf courses, including the challenging Nicklaus Course, a vineyard producing Carden Park Estate Reserve, and the must-visit Spa at Carden, featuring thermal experiences, outdoor vitality pools, and a panoramic garden. Guests can also enjoy an adventure course, driving range, and tennis courts.

Dating back to the 17th century, the estate was originally owned by the Leche family before being redeveloped into a luxury hotel and leisure complex. Today, it’s one of the UK’s premier countryside retreats.
