The Elton Hall estate is near Peterborough, and the 3800 acre estate straddles the Northants\/Cambs. county boundary.
\nThe Hall is a remarkable building of somewhat castellated and part-Gothic appearance, of 15th century origins but with 17th, 18th and 19th century additions.
\nInside are a number of grand rooms with fine decoration and furnishings. There is a notable collection of paintings.
\nThe formal gardens adjacent to the house were laid out in 1913 and restored in the 1980s. The Gothic orangery was built to celebrate the Millenium. I didn\u2019t spend much time in the impressive gardens on my visit as the weather was wet.
\nHouse and gardens are set in 200 acres of parkland. Also on the estate are a garden centre and a restaurant.
\nHouse and gardens provide enough to look at to occupy the visitor for the 3 hours opening time (2-5pm). Opening dates are somewhat restricted. The retail outlets, on the other hand, are open daily.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
