Quarry Bank's Facebook ‘House Rules’

We want our page to be a place where people can share how they

feel about the National Trust and talk about their experiences in a fun environment. We welcome feedback – both positive and negative. It helps us to learn and grow. These house rules aim to ensure everyone can enjoy themselves while they’re here: We ask you to be nice and polite to one another – you almost always are! - and respect each other’s views and comments. We ask all users to ensure your contributions are civil, polite, tasteful and suitable for all ages. We won't tolerate disruptive, offensive or abusive behaviour, unlawful or objectionable content. This includes any material which might be defamatory, offensive, infringing, obscene, lewd, pornographic, violent, abusive, insulting, threatening, harassing, discriminatory, blasphemous, indecent or otherwise unlawful or objectionable. It also includes any material which is aggressive, argumentative or likely to be construed as bullying. No spamming or repetition, please, nor off-topic material in subject-specific threads or areas. Quarry Bank's Moderation policy In general, we don’t moderate posts – except on the rare occasion that someone has used offensive language or made libellous allegations about named or identifiable individuals on our page. We have a duty to protect our staff and volunteers, so while deleting comments is totally out of character for us, our legal position is that any post containing a libellous accusation, should be removed. If an individual continues to post offensive, threatening or libellous content then we’ll be forced to block that person from the page. We won’t tolerate postings, content, or links that are racist, sexist or homophobic. We also don’t permit linking to or posting any content which endorses illegal activity, or any activities against the values of the National Trust. If you’re concerned that a posting or user content has broken any of our house rules or you’re worried about any comment or content, then please send us an email to [email protected] and let us know. Finally, please note that the views on our page are created by our community and don’t necessarily represent the views or opinions of National Trust.

This is the moment we’ve been waiting for 🌸

The Iris and Peonies are in flower once again in the walled garden here at Quarry Bank, Cheshire — and they are every bit as breathtaking as we remembered.

To walk amongst so much colour, fragrance and beauty feels like a true tonic for the soul. ✨

The Highland cattle have returned to Quarry Bank.

As you explore the estate, please help us keep both visitors and cattle safe by following a few simple reminders:

• Dogs must be kept on leads near the cattle.
• Please do not feed the cattle — even something as harmless as an apple can sour a mother’s milk and affect her calf.

Thank you for helping us care for our animals and landscape.
