More information on Hardwick Hall and Gardens

Hardwick Hall is one of the greatest examples of Elizabethan architecture to survive unchanged to the present day. It was completed over 400 years ago by Bess of Hardwick, the second most powerful woman in Elizabethan England, and has been described as having "more glass than wall". It is now most famous for its impressive tapestries and needlework, and for its collection of 16th century furniture. The gardens are the perfect place to spend a relaxing afternoon. Enjoy the great walks and wild and aromatic herb gardens, or picnic by the lake. You can also enjoy a meal in the licensed restaurant and a gift shop is open throughout the day. The nearby Hardwick Old Hall, one of Bess's earlier projects, can also be toured. Contact for timings.
