Hardwick Hall Country Park, Country park in Sedgefield, England

The park extends across landscaped grounds with an ornamental lake, artificial river, and circular walkways surrounded by established woodland areas.

The land transformed in the 18th century when John Burdon, a Tyneside businessman, constructed a new hall and developed 40 acres of ornamental features.

Grade II listed status reflects the park's preservation of authentic 18th century landscape design, including temples, grottoes, and follies by architect James Paine.

Durham County Council maintains visitor facilities including a center, cafe, restrooms, exhibition space, and classroom areas throughout the park grounds.

The 17-acre ornamental lake features an artificial river connection, making it a central element in the park's original Georgian landscape design.
