Holme Hall is a historic country house located in the picturesque village of Holme, Derbyshire, England. The hall dates back to the 16th century and has played a significant role in the region's history.

The architecture of Holme Hall is a beautiful blend of Tudor and Jacobean styles, showcasing intricate details and stunning craftsmanship. The exterior features a combination of red brick and stone, while the interiors boast grand oak paneling, ornate plasterwork, and elegant fireplaces.

The hall has had several notable owners throughout its history, including the influential Manners family, who were closely associated with the nearby Haddon Hall. It is said that Mary Queen of Scots stayed at Holme Hall during her captivity in the late 16th century.

Surrounded by extensive gardens and parkland, Holme Hall offers a serene and picturesque setting. The gardens are meticulously maintained, featuring manicured lawns, vibrant flower beds, and a variety of mature trees. A small lake adds to the charm of the landscape.

The hall is not open to the public, but it is a popular venue for weddings and other special events. The stunning architecture and picturesque surroundings make it an ideal backdrop for memorable occasions.

Holme Hall is a designated heritage site, recognized for its historical and architectural significance. It stands as a testament to the rich heritage of Derbyshire and continues to be a treasured landmark in the area.

Old milepost The 'Derbyshire bobbin' under the bridge parapet of the old railway line that is now the Monsal Trail for cyclists and walkers.  Some brambles had to be cleared to show the bobbin but note the stinging nettles.   About 15 years ago a National Park warden was painting this post but as with others, only the raised LONDON legend was painted. This road meets the A6 in under 2 miles but the next post is missing.   At the A6 turn left for London.
