Like a huge glass lantern, Hardwick Hall dominates the surrounding area - a magnificent statement of the wealth and authority of its builder, Bess of Hardwick. The house is remarkable for being almost unchanged since Bess lived here, giving a rare insight into the formality of courtly life of the Elizabethan age. There are outstanding collections of 16th Century embroidery, tapestries and furniture. Walled courtyards enclose fine gardens, orchards and herb garden. Opened in 2004 - Stone Centre and Park Centre.
