Hardwick Hall Chesterfield hotels places near to stay from Great British Gardens

The delightful gardens at Hardwick Hall were once the garden of Bess of Hardwick but only the walls and gazebo remain. The gardens today date from the 1870s with grass alleys bordered by yew and hornbeam hedges to protect them from the winds of the high escarpment. There are 4 areas - orchard, lawn, nuttery and herb garden which convey the spirit of an Elizabethan garden. Lead statues in yew alcoves, holly domes, mulberry avenue, herbaceous borders all add interest. Hardwick Hall, a beautiful period house which is famous for its tapestries is also open. Make sure you leave enough time to take a tour.		Hotels and places to stay near to Hardwick Hall Search now - click here
