History lovers! 👑 Hardwick Hall near Chesterfield is home to over 100 tapestries, many of them still hanging as recorded in Bess of Hardwick's will in 1601? 😯

It’s also home to incredible artwork, such as this famous portrait of Queen Elizabeth I which dates back to 1590 🖼️

Hands up if this National Trust gem is on your must-see list! 🙌
