Kedleston Hall is Robert Adam’s neoclassical showpiece, built from 1758 for Sir Nathaniel Curzon, whose family had held the land since the twelfth century. Adam designed almost everything, down to the door handles; the centrepiece is the Marble Hall, lined with columns of Derbyshire alabaster. The pleasure grounds and wider park, laid out in the informal English style, run to fine trees and rhododendrons. The National Trust took it on in 1986. Duffield station is about 4km to the north-east, and it is open on a paid ticket.
