One other northern National Trust site made the top 20 list and that was Fountains Abbey in Ripon, North Yorkshire.

It’s no wonder that Dunham Massey came in at second in the rankings.

Dunham Massey is a beautiful country house and gardens, that also boasts a large deer park.

The green gardens and protected parklands encircle the property for miles, and make for a great family walk, providing ample photo opportunities – with the odd deer if you’re lucky!

In the spring and summer months, the gardens are also blanketed with bluebells and wildflowers which would provide the perfect nature shot for your Instagram feed.

You can also bring your four-legged friend along for the photoshoot as they are welcome in the deer park, gardens (from 12 noon), shop  and ice cream parlour - provided they are kept on a short lead.

Dunham Massey is also steeped in over 300 years of history and was once home to two families, the Booths and the Greys.
