Nidd Hall Hotel and nearby sports venues in Harrogate, England

Records show that there was a house on the site of Nidd Hall at least 100 years before Elizabethan times and its oldest rooms, the cellars, date from this period. Yet Nidd Hall is perhaps best remembered for its 20th century history and the rumoured first fateful meeting between Edward VIII and Mrs Wallis Simpson. Nidds Georgian serenity is fit for the most regal of encounters and its easy to imagine the lovers-to-be exploring this elegant Grade II listed stately home and its landscaped gardens.
