Hardwick Hall & Hardwick OLD Hall, Derbyshire

17th September 2006

Here are photos we took in September at Hardwick Hall, built in the 1600's and still in great shape inside (couldn't take photos inside it) but it is decorated beautifully and very loudly, I would say. Then, there are photos of the ruins of Hardwick OLD Hall, which was built many many years before the newer hall. I actually enjoy the OLDER ones, even if it is only ruins, still soooo interesting!!! Hope you enjoy these 2 beautiful homes in the county of Derbyshire, about an hour and a quarter from where we live here in SW Lancashire.
