the house itself is well worth a visit, left in a state of disrepair and totally original, surrounded by lovely parkland. The restaurant serves lovely food made with locally sourced ingredients a highly recommended afternoon out.
it was very much worth a look. Free entry but donations welcome and very friendly and informative staff. It does not look muck from the outside but inside plays host to a massive natural history exhibitions, ranging from bronze age artifacts and a very impressive 'in the forest' exhibition where you feel like your in the heart of the wild forests and there's loads of information about the natural area of Derbyshire.
