Summer means now is the time to explore more of our beautiful county.
To celebrate our favourite season of the year, a Derbyshire tourist attraction is welcoming visitors for its new summer season by announcing 7-days-a-week opening hours.
The ancient Haddon Hall is regarded as one of the country’s most elegant and timeless stately homes.
The 900-year-old fortified manor house sits alongside stunning Elizabethan walled gardens, known for beautiful roses which grow down the walls during peak summer season.
Haddon’s 500 acres of Medieval Parkland has remained largely undisturbed for centuries and it is an incredible space to explore for people of all ages.
Haddon Hall’s social post said: ‘From now until 31st August, Haddon Hall welcomes you every day for the ultimate summer escape. Wander through rooms steeped in over 900 years of history, soak up the serenity of our Elizabethan gardens, and take in the glorious scent of climbing roses in full bloom. Whether you're here for the heritage, the romance of the setting, or simply a peaceful day out in beautiful surroundings — this is the perfect time to visit.’
Location: Haddon Hall, Bakewell DE45 1LA
Haddon Hall is 30 miles and around one hour away from Derby city centre.
