Across the river Wye, Haddon Hall hides her Elizabethan jewel. Up stone steps, past the keep, through dim ancient rooms and out into the terraced garden with sweeping views of the lush Derbyshire countryside. Roses and clematis festoon the old brickwork,there is phlox, thyme and lavender for scent and echinacea, monarda and salvia are bee loud. Browse here a while amongst the topiaried yew and lavender knot garden and allow yourself to be drawn back in time.
