Discover the timeless beauty and rich heritage of Hopton Hall amidst the picturesque landscapes of Derbyshire’s Peak District.
Rightfully Restored...
Spencer, our Manager, has beautifully restored the formal gardens and created many new and interesting features including the one acre walled garden in which we have planted over 2,000 roses in 40 individual beds, surrounded by 5,000 neatly trimmed box plants. Follow the 2 km of meandering paths along the croquet lawn and rose walk, around two ornamental ponds leading to the wildlife lake, arboretum, laburnum tunnel, birch avenue and more, creating a wonderful summer spectacular with visual surprises at each corner.
