A defensive Castle built in a crook in the River Coquet close to the Northumberland coast. It is suspected that it is much older, but usually dated to the 12th century, built on the instruction of Prince Henry of Scotland the Earl of Northumberland.

No excuses for revisiting one of my favourite Scottish views. Corpach was once a very busy seaway location. Located where the waters of Loch Linnhe and Loch Eil meet, it is also the start of the Caledonian Canal that cuts through the Great Glen, so linking the west coast to the east coast…. a vital time saving and safe route for Fishing and Supply shipping, It is also where you get great views of Ben Nevis. (on a clear day that is!)

We are lucky in Derbyshire, that many of our ancestors chose to build their grand homes within the county. Indeed we are spoilt for choice….. But Hardwick, is I reckon, my favourite.
