We visited family-run pub with centuries of history – nestled on the edge of beautiful Derbyshire country estate

We visited a family-run pub with centuries of history – which is nestled on the edge of a beautiful country estate in Derbyshire.

The Hardwick Inn is a centuries-old country pub, which can be found just outside the sprawling Hardwick Park estate. This is home to Hardwick Hall – an Elizabethan country house that was built in the 1500s and remains a popular tourist attraction.

The Derbyshire Times was invited to visit and learn more about the history of the pub and an upcoming major milestone – and these photos show what you can expect from the Hardwick Inn.
