The Rams Head Inn, in the centre of the village, was built by the Legh family in c.1640, though the current exterior was built around 1840. It was formerly a lodge belonging to the Lyme Park estate. It became a main [[coaching inn|coaching stop]] on the [[Manchester]] to London route. In 1790, after three visits, Viscount Torrington voted it the best inn in England. The Rams Head is now a restaurant and pub; only part of what once was its extensive stabling block still remains. The pub<ref>{{NHLE |num=1231354 |desc=Ram's Head Hotel And Mounting Block |grade=II |fewer-links=yes |access-date=10 September 2024}}</ref> and its adjoining former stables<ref>{{NHLE |num=1231559 |desc=Former Stables At Ram's Head Hotel |grade=II |fewer-links=yes |access-date=10 September 2024}}</ref> are Grade II listed buildings.

[[Lyme Park]] is in the civil parish of [[Lyme Handley]], rather than in the Disley parish, but it is sufficiently close to be associated with the village. It is owned and managed by the [[National Trust]]. The hall was used by the [[BBC]] as a setting in its 1995 adaptation of ''[[Pride and Prejudice (1995 TV serial)|Pride and Prejudice]]''.

The [[Bowstones]] are two upright crosses on moorland above Lyme Park on the route of the [[Gritstone Trail]]. Their origins are unknown but they are believed to be religious. From here it is possible to see seven counties: Derbyshire, Lancashire, Yorkshire, Cheshire, Staffordshire, Shropshire and Clwyd.
