Bit of a cold wind on our visit this year but found a pitch with hedging that protected us whilst sitting out in the sunshine. Visited both Hardwick Halls in one go, would suggest it more sensible to allow two days as there are a great deal of stairs, lovely restaurant in the Stables. Bolsover Castle was also visited this time too. A meal at the Arkwright Arms is a treat. Didn't actually have time to walk around the park, but is something that you need to do preferably in the sunshine. The site and park are extremely busy over a weekend but much quieter mid week.
