Kedleston Hall is an extravagant temple to the arts. Commissioned in the 1750s by Nathaniel Curzon whose ancestors had resided at Kedleston since the 12th century. The house is framed by historic parkland and boasts opulent interiors intended to impress.
Designed for lavish entertaining, Kedleston Hall displays an extensive collection of paintings, sculpture and original furnishings, reflecting both the tastes of its creators and their fascination with the classical world of the Roman Empire.
Inherited by George Nathaniel Curzon, Viceroy of India between 1899 and 1905, the hall also houses the many objects he amassed during his travels in South Asia and the Middle East, and in his role leading British rule in India.

Composed of thousands of metres of gold thread wound between the alabaster pillars, this temporary art installation is a response to Kedleston’s original function as a show palace. 'Promenade' responds to Robert Adam’s architecture and design; and also to the famous 'Peacock Dress'.

Stella was in dogs trust for 6 weeks, in this time I fell in love with her. She had a terrible skin condition which has now fully cleared up after living in a comfortable home and eating a good diet! Stella brightens up my world, she is always so happy to greet us and loves going out for walks which gets me out of the house and exercising. How can you resist that waggy tail which brings a smile to your face no matter what kind of day you have had!

Trust
Trust that there is a tiger, muscular
Tasmanian, and sly, which has never been
seen and never will be seen by any human
eye. Trust that thirty thousand sword-
fish will never near a ship, that far
from cameras or cars elephant herds live
long elephant lives. Believe that bees
by the billions find unidentified flowers
on unmapped marshes and mountains. Safe
in caves of contentment, bears sleep.
Through vast canyons, horses run while slowly
snakes stretch beyond their skins in the sun.
I must trust all this to be true, though
the few birds at my feeder watch the window
with small flutters of fear, so like my own.

Stourhead is famous for once housing the most magnificent Pelargonium collection on the planet. The National Trust is now trying to restore as many varieties as possible. The Pelargonium House itself is gorgeous to any Horticulturalist!
When Stourhead first opened in the 1740s, a magazine described it as ‘a living work of art’. The world-famous landscape garden has at its centrepiece a magnificent lake reflecting classical temples, mystical grottoes, and rare and exotic trees.
