Hatfield House, Manor house in Welwyn Hatfield, England.
The Jacobean mansion stands within a 42-acre garden estate featuring formal gardens, courtyards, and expansive parklands surrounding the main residence.
Robert Cecil, Chief Minister to King James I, constructed the current house in 1611 after receiving the property from the monarch.
The State Rooms contain numerous paintings, furniture pieces, and tapestries collected by generations of the Cecil family since the 17th century.
Visitors can access the gardens, park, and woodland walks from Wednesday through Sunday, while guided tours of State Rooms operate during weekdays.
The grounds include Queen Elizabeth's Oak tree, where Princess Elizabeth received news of her ascension to the English throne in 1558.
