Haddon Hall is a mediæval and Tudor fortified manor house near Bakewell, Derbyshire. It is considered one of the most complete and interesting houses of its period to have survived, largely because it remained largely unoccupied from the early 18th to the early 20th centuries, preserving its historic character. The hall's origins date back to the 11th century, with additions made between the 13th and 17th centuries. Only 4 families have lived at Haddon Hall, the Peveril family (c. 1087–1153); the Avenell family (c. 1153–1170); the Vernon family (c. 1170–1563) who built much of the hall as it stands today; and the Manners family (1563–present day). Highlights include the 14th century Banqueting Hall with its original dais table and a tapestry said to be a gift from Henry VIII; the Tudor-panelled Parlour; and the spectacular 110-foot Elizabethan Long Gallery. The terraced Elizabethan walled gardens cascade down to the River Wye and offer stunning views of the surrounding parkland. Haddon Hall is a popular location for filmmakers. It is within the council area of Derbyshire Dales (Derbyshire).
