We were greeted warmly by Sir Richard Fitzherbert.
He showed us around his home and pointed out the hall's wonderful features and works of art.
Tours are available on various dates throughout the year.
The hall and the village it belongs to are a fantastic tourist destination.
The grounds of the hall are also used as the perfect wedding venue.
The castle is about 7 miles to the North of Ashbourne, off the A515.
Tissington Hall was built during the reign of King James I and is situated within the privately owned village of Tissington in Derbyshire's Peak District.
The Fitzherbert family acquired the Tissington estate through marriage in 1465, with the original old moated manor house being situated next to the Norman church.
This manor house was replaced in 1609 by Francis Fitzherbert with the stunning Jacobean hall that we can see today.
The village is also home to the ancient custom of well dressing, and Tissington's dressed wells are always spectacular!
