Visitors drive to Hardwick Hall

The photograph shows the visitors drive to Hardwick hall as it approaches its summit.

Except for estate vehicles the National Trust operate a one-way traffic system in the park. In this photograph the flow is away from the viewpoint.
The vehicle entrance for visitors is near Stainsby Mill. The drive passes the Blingsby Gate and crosses a cattle grid (behind the viewpoint) before reaching this point.
From here the drive continues to rise gently as it turns southward. As it reaches the top of the hill it joins the original driveway from Duke’s Drive before reaching the car park and halls (two of them the old and the new). The vehicular exit from the park is via the Hardwick Inn.
