Oh my Lord 😍 The spectacular Elizabethan country house, Burton Agnes Hall, is honestly one of the most beautiful houses around. For those of us living in Britain who have forgotten what summer should look like, this is it! Designed by Robert Smythson, a man best known for some of England’s most spectacular Elizabethan Prodigy Houses (Think Hardwick Hall), the Hall has been described as ‘England’s prettiest house’. Built for Sir Henry Griffith between 1601 - 1610, it’s easy to see why this lived

Incredible morning light at Hardwick Hall. England’s most impressive Elizabethan Prodigy House looks absolutely spectacular in the late morning orange light on a misty morning. Seen here also is the imposing ruins of Hardwick Old Hall - Bess’ former luxury mansion. Bess of Hardwick must have been absolutely formidable and this is evident in both of her massive country houses. #hardwickhall #nationaltrust #heritage #historicalplace #countryhouse #countryhome #mansions #manor #manorhouse #elizabet
