About
Grab yourself a warm drink from our Great Barn Restaurant to take with you as you explore the history and stories of the buildings and people of Hardwick.
Walk from the Stableyard to the hall via the Old Hall learning about the significance of each of the buildings in the life of Bess.
Meeting Point: Picnic benches outside the Great Barn Restaurant
With uneven flooring at pathways, we request attendees wear sensible footwear, with no open toes.
Most of the route is suitable for wheelchair users although this route does go past the old hall where there are some uneven surfaces. If you have a heart complaint, breathing difficulties, or a medical condition that affects physical activity this tour is not suitable.
Maximum of 25 persons per group.
We recommend arriving half an hour before the tour to have time to collect your hot drink before the tour starts.
