Hardwick Old Hall
A few weeks ago, I took a trip to Derbyshire for a few days, and our first stop was Hardwick Old Hall near Chesterfield.
The old hall now stands as a ruin, but much of the original plasterwork is still there. Looking at the remains, you can still get a sense of how impressive the building must have been when it was in its prime.
We climbed the stairs to the top, where we were rewarded with beautiful views across the surrounding countryside and towards Hardwick's newer hall. Looking down from the top, you realise just how high the old building was.
