A Hannibal Location

The Biltmore Estate, in the foothills of the North Carolina Blue Ridge Mountains, is one of the great examples of America’s historic finery. Biltmore was the manifestation of the Vanderbilt family’s wealth and legacy, dating back to the late 19th century. It is as grand and glamorous as any old estate in England, and somewhat fascinating also. The site and its grounds are extremely well preserved and offers more than a glimpse into the goings on of the era, from the grand function rooms and residences, to the servants quarters, and even the farmlands in the extremities of the grounds. Film buffs may recognize it as a filming location for the movie ‘Hannibal’.
