Hardwick Hall is one of Britain's foremost Elizabethan
houses and is a magnificant statement of the wealth and authority
of its builder, Bess of Hardwick. Set in rolling parkland, the
house with its glittering tiers of windows and crowned turrets,
sits like a huge glass lantern. |
Walled courtyards enclose fine gardens, orchards and
a tudor herb garden, and the surrounding country park contains
rare breeds of Longhorn cattle and Whiteface Woodland sheep. |
