This is the delightful Hardwick Hall estate just round the corner from where I live. It is ran by the Nation Trust and the home of one of England’s treasured Elizabethan mansions Hardwick Hall. Built between 1590 and 1597 for Bess of Hardwick and designed by the architect Robert Smythson.
This was my playground as a child and still a place I walk at least once a week to this day.
