Today we trained to Chesterfield and then took a coach to Old Hardwick Hall and Hardwick Hall. Old Hardwick Hall is only a few years older than Hardwick Hall; but was left to ruin as the new house was built. They have covered and restored a set of stairs so you can walk up the old building and see how great it must have been. Harwick Hall is amazing too, it has much of its interior intact and was fun to tour.
Haddon Hall was my favorite. It still has its old midevil kitchen intact and seems so much older and quaint than other buildings we have visited. They filmed the Inn scenes from Pride and Prejudice here as well as some scenes from Princess Bride. Also the last two Jane Eyre films were made here.
