Holker Hall, Country house and garden in Lower Holker, England.
The 23-acre estate combines formal gardens with woodland areas, featuring varied plant collections and landscaping across multiple terraces and pathways.
After a fire destroyed the original structure in 1871, architects Paley & Austin rebuilt Holker Hall in Neo-Elizabethan style using materials from the estate.
The interior displays furniture and artworks transferred from Chatsworth House, reflecting the strong connection between these two significant English estates.
The estate includes free parking, a café serving local food, a gift shop accessible without entrance tickets, and complete wheelchair access to the gardens.
The Great Holker Lime tree stands as one of Britain's 50 most notable trees, measuring 7 feet 6 inches at its widest point.
