Experience Community Hardwick Hall

Our next ramble is at Harwick Hall

It was the formidable 'Bess of Hardwick' who first built the house and developed the surrounding estate in the late 1500s. Her descendants, the Dukes of Devonshire, treasured Hardwick, while lavishing much of their attention and money on nearby Chatsworth. Their success – intimately associated with empire over 400 years and across the globe – preserved Hardwick, and their interests elsewhere saved it from significant alteration.

This is a National Trust site - charges apply - we do have a limited number of passes available if you do not have a National Trust membership - please let us know when booking.
