One of the finest Elizabethan houses in England, Wollaton Hall is a Grade 1 Listed building designed by Robert Smythson and built in 1588 by wealthy coal baron Sir Francis Willoughby.

The hall stands on a hill in 500 acres of beautiful parkland in which Red and Fallow Deer roam freely.  When floodlit the hall looks spectacular, especially from the long drive way leading up to the entrance.
