Terrain:

The terrain in the Hardwick Hall estate, Derbyshire, is varied. Paths within the formal gardens are generally well-surfaced and accessible for pushchairs and wheelchairs. Parkland and woodland paths are a mix of gravel, earth, and grass, which can become muddy and uneven after rain, especially in woodland sections or across fields. There are some gentle to moderate slopes and hills throughout the extensive estate. Sturdy footwear is recommended for exploring the wider parkland and woodland trails of this Derbyshire property.

Dog Notes:

Dogs on leads are very welcome in most of the parkland and woodland areas of the Hardwick Hall estate in Derbyshire, but they are not usually permitted in the formal gardens, inside Hardwick Hall or Old Hardwick Hall, the restaurant, or the shop (assistance dogs are an exception). There are many miles of designated paths perfect for on-lead dog walking throughout the wider estate. Dogs should be kept on leads due to the presence of livestock (cattle and sheep graze the parkland) and to protect wildlife. Dog waste bins are provided in some key areas. The Hardwick estate in Derbyshire offers excellent and extensive walks for dogs in the permitted areas.
