KEDDLESTON HALL: An extravegant Georgian monument to excess and wealth with a colonial history. 4K

Amongst the many halls an mansions in central England, few can compare to the pure opulance of Keddleston hall. For centuries the area belonged to the influential Curzon family and the mansion was a testament to their wealth and status. Built purely to entertain and impress there hall is a must see when visiting the area. As well as the building there is also a lot of history of the family. Especially around Lord Curzons time as Viceroy of India during the British Empire.
Keddleston hall is situated just outside of Derby and is part of the national trust. Access is excellent for the most part although getting upstairs may be an issue for some. As well as the amazing main hall there are plenty of delightful garden and woodlands walks to embark upon. The site has accesable toilets, a cafe and shops.

It was lovely to begin with. The heavens opened up just a little after this and gave me a soaking.

It's totally worth it. Next time I need to explore the ground a bit more. There are some amazing countryside views around

Very much enjoyed this wander Ellis, such a grand and beautiful sight of Keddleston Hall, we really want to get around to visiting more NT properties! Completely blown away with the architecture throughout the hall, but inside the Marble Hall, that was certainly something very special. Loved what you did with the information plaques too! Great to listen to the volunteers there dressed up, so cool! Thank you again for covering this beautiful place, one for the list!

I do love it when you get the volunteers that throw themselves into the role like the lady in this video. You could tell she loves talking about the place.
