Haddon Hall

[katriona_s]

On my trip to UK, after leaving Scotland I went to Derbyshire, England. There I visited an old, grand manor house Haddon Hall near Bakewell. It was wonderful to see this old but beautiful house in the countryside.









I was fascinated by these small glasses of the window, the changes of subtle colour of them.



The garden was also beautiful, I have strolled around in every corner of it. I have stayed there just about 2 hours but it’s an enjoyable visit, I really like this place :)

How beautiful! It looks Tudor; I like that era of houses for the light, simplicity, and openness, unlike later times when decor got darker and ever more cluttered, culminating in the worst of Victorianism.

We have many panes of glass in our house, but they're all clear, though some are uneven and slightly distort the view outside. :)

I share your liking. Our architecture here is much different - that ´s why I just like it there...

Yes it was a beautiful building. I have little knowledge about the time and style of old buildings but I like this style very much :)

Oh, lucky you...such a clean, pristine architecture, a state house that is a real gem. I wish I could see it but thank you very much for sharing!!!

My pleasure!
Frankly, it’s not very easy to visit there. This manor house was not on my way from Scotland to England, I had to take 2 different buses to get there. But as you see, it’s worth to visit!

Gorgeous! It's hard to imagine living in a grand place such as that.

Oh yes, I agree with you! I wonder in which chamber people had slept in in old days…

This manor house was used to film the BBC drama Jane Eyre, you can see its beautiful rooms and garden in it.
