Erddig Hall is a stately home surrounded by a huge country park,
and lies two miles south of Wrexham in the north Wales borderlands.
Building of
Erddig began in the late 17th century, and it was extensively
remodelled when it fell under the ownership of Philip Yorke in
the 18th century. The house contains a fascinating collection
of family memorabilia, with the state rooms upstairs filled with
portraits and impressive 18th and 19th century furnishings. 
There
was a close relationship between the Yorke family - who were renowned
for their eccentricity - and their servants; and portraits of
the staff, with accompanying verse composed by Philip Yorke II,
provide an unusual addition to the exhibits on display.
As well as
the main house there are also many outbuildings to explore, including
a kitchen, bakehouse, blacksmith's shop and stables. The extensive
surrounding parkland contains woodland and a restored 18th century
walled garden, which features a Victorian parterre and yew walk.
There are many footpaths throughout the park, and if walking doesn't
appeal, you can take a trip around the estate in a horse drawn
carriage.
