Beautiful 'pseudo Gothic' style mansion was built in 1848 by Sir John Hare.

This is a great little place, if your from the UK and live visiting a National Trust or English Heritage sites then this is a place for you. It’s only 30mins from the euro shuttle and ferry at Calais. So if you have time and want the kids to stretch their legs, this is again the place to visit, Luckily when we arrived the had a performance on in the gardens, which was a wonderful experience for our kids, the calligraphy and singing was great to watch, We had a round around the gardens and enjoyed every part of it, and as it was a Sunday (all shops are closed) we had some lite bites/food before we settled off for the euro shuttle. The castle/Chateau was closed for the public as they are going through some construction work, but the gardens were open to explore. Like I said, highly recommended visiting Chateau d’Hardelot.

Beautiful castle and garden. Interior is not so fascinating as exterior. But for 3 euro it is ok to get in. Tickets have entry time. They control how many people is in (and it is good), but you may need to wait a bit. We walked through the garden and it is amazing. You need a separate ticket for exposition. The woman on the pay desk has not told me. I just asked for 2 adult tickets. When i was told this at the exposition entrance, i was lazy to go back to buy tickets again. Not wheelchair friendly. You may be able to walk through the garden, but no way to get into the castle.

I was brought up near the chateau when it was standing at a ruin. It is so nice to see it restored in such a lovely fashion. I also love what they've done with the walkway through the swamp around the lake.
