About

The story

Rising from the banks of the River Derwent, Chatsworth is the seat of the Dukes of Devonshire and one of the most beloved houses in Britain. Behind its golden facade lie state rooms hung with old masters, while outside the celebrated gardens unfold into cascades, fountains and famous water features framed by wild Peak District moorland. Deer roam the parkland designed by Capability Brown, and every corner rewards the curious. It is a place of genuine grandeur, endlessly photographed yet never diminished — the sort of day out families and history lovers remember for years.
