Apethorpe Hall, English country house in Northamptonshire, England.
The historic residence features state apartments with ornate Jacobean plasterwork, grand halls, and extensive gardens spanning across 45 acres of land.
Elizabeth I inherited the estate from Henry VIII, leading to thirteen royal visits between 1566 and 1636, making it Northamptonshire's most frequented royal residence.
The residence contains a Long Gallery and King's Bedchamber, displaying architectural elements and design features characteristic of early 17th-century English nobility.
The palace opens for guided tours during July and August, with each session accommodating 18 visitors and lasting approximately ninety minutes.
Construction workers discovered a hidden passage connecting King James I's chambers to those of George Villiers during recent renovation works.
