What an absolutely gorgeous place! And not too far away from Chatsworth, either!

[@robert-pj3bc]

Lovely! I'm going to make it a goal to go there. It will be fun planning places to stay, other wonderful sights to see. God bless the UK and the wonderful people there. NJ USA

Visited once and never forgotten. It's a magical place. Sometimes the panelling in the gallery glows like silver.

[@janicedodson1018]

OMG worth watching just for the views of the Iris flowers!!!!! That rust color! That deep wine color! Magnificent.

We visited this beautiful place two years ago while staying with friends in Derbyshire just 15 minutes from Bakewell. Even though it was raining when we visited and it was in mid September so most of the garden had stopped blooming, it was still very impressive. The house has a wonderful atmosphere and we were especially impressed with the beautiful old tapestries on the walls. The guides working there were very friendly and informative. One day I would love to go back when the weather is in a better mood!

One of my favourite historic places. Beautiful in every way, especially in summer with climbing roses.

This is at the top of my must-see list for when I go to England, there is so much history there. It’s so rare to see properties that escaped the usual “updates”.

I have just come upon this video. I visited Haddon Hall in 2014, the year it was made. It is a truly fascinating and magical place. Lord Edward mentions that they had recently restored the gardens, which were definitely a highlight.

[@richenuff01]

I had the honor of visiting this amazing manor house this past July. The house is familiar to me because I've seen a few films that shot there, but then I was able to be blown away by being in person. The tour guides were helpful and very friendly , and I loved the fact that it's a self-touring estate that is still a home and not simply a museum. I'd like to thank the family for allowing me to have the opportunity to walk the floors of this historical residence.

[@janeprugh3457]

This is my favorite house in England with its exquisite great hall, beautiful windows letting in so much light and the gorgeous gardens all in a beautiful setting.

I love these homes.

[@laurawatkins9399]

I'm a descendant of the Vernons who lived here until (I believe) the 15th century. Since childhood I've had a recurring dream of wandering through a place like this, which leads me to wonder if DNA memory exists and it is teasing me about Haddon Hall. Sort of a reverse haunting.

[@pokerfarmer3474]

I am to a descendent to Dorothy Vernon

[@Incident8]

As am I Laura. I was wondering the same thing as I watched that video.

[@TheCWMHALL]

My friend calls it ancestral voices calling .

[@Robwolf28]

I am also and I am Vernon. Though my ancestors left Hertingfordbury Hertfordshire England to the US in the late 1600s and landed in Maryland. Then they eventually moved to North Carolina. Carolus, Charles, Karl, Hariolus. King Charles I

[@katherinethomson5321]

Laura Watkins: I have wondered the very same thing!! When I returned to England eventually for a first visit after 23 years, I went to Stanton Harcourt, my Mother's Family "Seat" of long ago. I also visited the Farm where descendants of my Father's still lived. On both occasions, altho' I had never been to either as a child, being brought up thru' the War, or seen a photo or picture - I had the strangest Deja Vu round every corner.........

Can you please tell me which one of Jane Eyre series was filmed in this hall? I have watched 1983 BBC series,but I can't identify Thornfield Hall looking at this place...

[@MsMsmak]

@@user-jp6be7jw4i Look for the 2011 version directed by Cary Fukunaga starring Mia Wasikowska and Michael Fassbender. It's also the place where Franco Zeffirelli filmed his 1996 version of the book.

"wasnt their main residence at the time" Holy cow, its bigger than my high school. I think they could let out a room or two to help with the cost. Can you imagine heating that thing? I would die when I got the gas bill.

Hi Cassandra, please use the video as you like. Thanks, John Collins, (producer)

[@VictrolaJazz]

How is such a place heated? Or how is such a place retrofitted with all the comforts and conveniences of the modern world--plumbing, electricity, heat or AC? Did that begin in the 19th century when those things started coming along? Was it gas-lit in Victorian times. How warm can it be made during a bitterly cold day in mid-winter?

I thought that Haddon Hall belonged to Lord Edwards elder brother the Duke of Rutland who lives at belvoir castle thought that Lord Edward was the custodian of the house for his generation has the Duke given him the hall and estate?

[@iam1ina1000000]

Such an amazing property and a brilliant, respectful restoration, but it looks like all of the priceless artwork and grand furniture was sold off to pay for it... very bland and dreary interiors. (Not a drop of color to be found anywhere inside. Could splurge and have the gardener prepare a few colorful floral arrangements, to be placed throughout and make paying guests feel more welcome.)

[@mscott3918]

Visitors are made welcome. The house has a wonderful atmosphere. It isn't that things were sold off, but the family stopped living there and so it became a sort of time capsule. John Duke of Rutland made restoring it his life's work. Hard to explain, but if you go you will see what I mean. It is really special.

[@katherinethomson5321]

My Mother's Ancesters were d'Harcourt of Stanton Harcourt and when the last male heir died rescuing his dog from a well, the Estate came into the hands of the Vernons! Harcourt is the oldest French Norman name in England.

[@summergram]

Lovely place. "Most stately homes date from 1600s 1800s..." #colonymoney #dirtymoney #looters #killers #pillager At least Haddon is mostly untainted by that part of British history
