Chatsworth House, Derbyshire

Chatsworth House is probably the top tourist attraction in Derbyshire.

It is sited in a magnificent setting, overlooking the River Derwent, with majestic gardens containing huge water features. The house is also rich with art and treasures. The present palladian style mansion was built by the first Duke of Devonshire in 1707.

Many outstanding rooms are contained within the house, perhaps the finest being the dining room in the north wing.

The extensive gardens originally laid out by Capability Brown were later extensively changed by Sir Joseph Paxton, who constructed the Emperor Fountain, with it's gravity fed jet of water 290 ft high.

Also at Chatsworth are a gift shop, farmyard, garden centre, farm shop and a restaurant.
