Haddon Hall is a medieval English country house dating in parts back to the 11th century, with many architectural features dating back to Tudor times and earlier. Several movies have been filmed here over the years, including three versions of Jane Eyre, Elizabeth, Pride & Prejudice and The Princess Bride.
