  • In this Uk travel episode I take you around what is possibly the finest surviving example of an Elizabethan manor house. Hardwick Hall in Derbyshire is nothing short of spectacular. Now in the hands of the National Trust, the house was dreamed up by Elizabeth Talbot, The Countess of Shrewsbury. As the second richest woman in Elizabethan society, second only to Queen Elizabeth I herself, Bess of Hardwick as she became popularly known was a keen builder and Hardwick Hall is one of her many impressive houses. Other properties include Chatsworth House which you may recognise from films like Pride and Prejudice. You may even recognise Hardwick Hall as it played Malfoy Manor in the Harry Potter series. Come and join me as I take you inside the house and show you what is possibly the best surviving private collection of tapestries in the world.
    Afterwards we go mushroom hunting in Sherwood Forest and share an exciting life update with you all!

    Wouldn't fancy living in that house in the depths of an English winter. All that glass....madness! No wonder she liked tapestries....it's a form of insulation.
    I'm shivering just imagining it and it's July in the South of France!

      That's very kind of you, thank you! :) I'm so pleased you're enjoying our videos. Ooh yes - the mushrooms were amazing! I've never seen such a variety here in the UK before. It definitely makes me want to go on a foraging class so I can learn more

    Incredible house! I adore historic fabrics and these tapestries are divine! So glad they are being maintained. Sherwood Forest fungi hunt made me smile. Although I'm an American, my paternal grandfather was born in and grew in Nottingham. The family goes back several generations, many working in the lace trade. I wonder if any of them wandered this area as children.

    I was a volunteer at Hardwick Hall for a few years and on duty in the blue room before the visitors arrived I thought I would check in my notes what wood a beautiful cabinet was made of because I was always asked,when I walked back to my post I distinctly felt someone walking very very close on my right side in my personal space of you like,no one else there,I tried to find out more but the trust discouraged any talk of ghosts,a few of the older guides said yes the room was haunted.
