Sept. 4, 2012 - PRLog -- It is not often that you can take the opportunity to discover the real history of an English country home and learn all its secrets direct from a ninth generation resident!

George Buchanan, current resident and general manager of the splendid Hodsock Priory located on the border of South Yorkshire and North Nottingham, has created Heritage Tours to allow visitors to enjoy the historic, quirky and somewhat intriguing aspects of the lovingly restored country home

“We always enjoy opening our doors to guests, delegates and visitors who are truly stunned by the amazing restoration that has taken place at Hodsock in recent years,” said George Buchanan. “It’s lovely to see the house and gardens come alive with the sound of history, love, laughter, music and fun and is a perfect base to enjoy heritage tours of the county.”

In the heart of ‘The Dukeries, there are several attractions close by so whether you prefer the grandeur of stately homes such as Renishaw Hall, the mystery of ruined abbeys such as Roche Abbey and Rufford Abbey or the magnificent gardens and parklands of Clumber Park, there is much to discover and enjoy.

Throughout the year on specially selected evening visitors can also enjoy the popular ‘Secrets of Hodsock’ evenings when George shares tales, anecdotes and the treasures of the house with visitors. His intimate knowledge and passion for his home brings history to life and is perfect for anyone who enjoys delving into the past.
