Introduction
High Legh was a landscape park built around two historic halls. These have now been demolished and a modern housing estate built where they stood. The remaining parkland has been converted into a golf course. The outlines of the design by Humphry Repton are still discernible and proposals from Repton's Red Book for the park can still be recognised.
