An icon of Elizabethan architecture, Hardwick Hall, stands proudly on a hilltop bordering North-East Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. Explore the rich history of Hardwick’s matriarch, the formidable Elizabeth Shrewsbury, better known as Bess of Hardwick. Bess’s influence is clear throughout the collections on display, the architecture and the four garden courtyards. Enjoy a warm drink and a slice of cake in the Great Barn Restaurant before taking a walk in Bess’s footsteps around Hardwick’s 2,000 acre estate, enjoying the local wildlife as it changes through the seasons.
The Hardwick Estate also includes Stainsby Mill, a 19th-century water-powered flour mill.
Please look at the Hardwick Hall website for prices
