Hidden England
text

Hidden England represents an area that is not always visited by groups. We want to share this secret place with you as it offers the visitor five of the most unique historic houses and castles, many of them still lived in by the families who built them hundreds of years ago.

Rockingham Castle was a royal fortress as well as a family home, whilst Belvoir Castle is home to the Duke & Duchess of Rutland. Burghley House is the grandest house of the first Elizabethan Age, Belton House is the crowning achievement of restoration country house architecture and Grimsthorpe Castle boasts Sir John Vanbrugh's last major work.

London, Yorkshire, East and West Midlands are all within easy reach for day visits and those from further afield can take advantage of the quality hotels in the Hidden England brochure.

Close to the A1, all of these magnificent heritage sites are within an hours drive of one another, and offer a thousand years of history in tranquil parklands and ornate gardens.

We look forward to welcoming you to the hidden delights of this less well known area of the country.

You will be able to use the 'Hidden England Passport' in 2010 to obtain some great discounts when visiting the Houses of Hidden England. Buy full price tickets at the first of the six houses you visit, pick up a Hidden England passport (this will have been stamped when you bought your tickets). You can then use the passport to obtain 2 for 1 entry at the other five houses (and obtain other offers at the other attractions in the leaflet) obtaining passport stamps at each place as you arrive. We close on 30th September this year but you can check out the opening times of the other houses and attractions on the Hidden England leaflet or visit the Hidden England website for further details.

There is a lot to see and enjoy in Hidden England - check out the website today and discover just what is on offer. As well as the houses there are other great places to visit and a range of hotels that can offer you a place to stay whilst you explore this undiscovered part of England.
