Hardwick Hall Derbyshire

 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.

The letters " ES "can be seen carved in stone on the outside of the house, her name strictly being "Elizabeth of Shrewsbury".

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.

Inside the house, the chambers are white - washed and shrewn with rush matting, and house outstanding collections of 16th C furniture, tapestries and needlework. Now owned by the National Trust, Hardwick Hall is a must for any visitor to the Peak District.

There is a cafe and National Trust gift shop at Hardwick Hall.

The ruins of Hardwick Old Hall in the grounds are administered by English Heritage
