Haddon Hall



Today 5 of us drove out to Haddon Hall, a Tudor-era castle started in the 12th century, and built over about 400 years. Because it was not occupied for some later years it was never "modernized" and looks much as it did then. Parts of Jany Eyre and The Princess Bride were filmed there.

We had lunch in Bakewell, home of the famous Bakewell tart. Delicious. Tonight is the Festival production of Ruddigore and home tomorrow.
