Haddon Hall and Chatsworth

First of all, CHECK OUT THE SIGN!!! How funny is that?! We need them in the United States.

In the very courtyard that I am standing in... Princess Bride was filmed and in the newer version of Jane Eyre. This house was used in Jane Eyre (they used the outside for the fire) and we saw pictures of what it looked like, it was pretty fun. This is also The Rose and Crown (for you Nicole... look for special pictures) in Pride and Prejudice (where Elizabeth stays with her Aunt and Uncle and when she receives Jane's letters).

Here's another pic of the house...

This is where Elizabeth's Aunt and Uncle were sitting when Mr. Darcy invites them to Pemberley.

Ummm.... this would be the Jane Letter area!!

This is me! (duh, I know)

Haddon Hall from the gardens in the back of the house

This is a view from the gardens, over a fence.

(Pretend that I am hiding from Mr. Darcy)

This is where Elizabeth hides when she sees Mr. Darcy at the Rose and Crown and doesn't want to be seen.

This is me, Susie and Julia. Julia want's to be a wedding planner and WANTS to do body flowers!! Boy will she learn her lesson! Julia is real cute and spunky, she'll love body flowers until she tries to make one, I even warned her and she still wants to participate.

This is Chatsworth aka Pemberley!!

This is THE porch! Where Elizabeth runs from Mr. Darcy and also where they kiss at the end.

A view from the end of the lake. I'm really excited that I could get this shot, although I would have loved reflection in the pond but oh well.

In the search for the big root tree that Elizabeth and her Aunt and Uncle sit on and eat an apple... we found the largest leaves that I have ever seen!!

Not the tree that we were in search of, but still cool non the less!

Another view of Chatsworth

This is really in the sculpture collection and also used in Pride and Prejudice.

Need I say more?! This is here for real! There is a bunch of pictures of movies that were filmed at Chatsworth (the Dutchess, Pride and Prejudice are the ones I remember but there were others)

This is on the porch, lame picture of the round table, but you couldn't get on the porch, it was private!! This is at the end of the movie, after Darcy and Elizabeth are married and he calls her Mrs. Darcy while they are sitting on it.

This is the great hall where you first enter the house. In Pride and Prejudice you see everyone walk in this room with the checkered floor and the rad staircase and ceiling mural.

The sculpture room where Elizabeth sees Mr. Darcy's bust.

The End of the Pride and Prejudice tour, hope you enjoyed it!

Me, Susie and a few other girls are going to Ireland tomorrow!! We are staying in Limerick and Tralee. Our plans are to go to the Cliffs of Moher and then to the town of Dingle (where the Flaherty's come from). Wish me luck driving on the wrong side of the car and the wrong side of the road! (sorry for all of the !'s but it was necessary for the day of sights.
