Chatsworth House

Chatsworth, home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, is one of Britain’s best loved historic houses and estates, set in the heart of the Peak District National Park. Visitors can see richly decorated rooms and famous works of art in Chatsworth House. In the 105 acre garden, 17th century formal waterworks and sculptures can be seen alongside Capability Brown’s lawns and Joseph Paxton’s rockeries, fountains and greenhouses and more than 5 miles of walks. Families enjoy the farmyard and the woodland adventure playground which thrills and delights children of all ages. The 1,000 acre park and the Farm Shop and restaurant are open all year around.

The house, garden, farmyard and adventure playground are open until 23rd December 2013.
