The Chatsworth House, located in Derbyshire was a true highlight of our time in England. The acres of gardens along with the 1000+ park acres are simply stunning. Being there during autumn made it extra special, as my youngest and I both celebrated our birthdays “across the pond”.
The home and grounds were well worth the long train ride, followed by a taxi to the remote location. We stayed overnight in town, giving us two days to explore. While the house and its contents are beyond impressive, I could have strolled the land for days, breaking only to sleep and read books. This post contains images from in and around the house, while additional grounds photos are yet to come.
While planning our vacation, my youngest reminded me that the extraordinary Chatsworth House was a must-visit while in England. We both love the movie Pride and Prejudice and Chatsworth is Mr. Darcy’s house in the film.
Having a break from the hustle of London was timely during the middle of our trip. We walked and walked the grounds – not all of the dales in Derbyshire, but we did our share. One path was as gorgeous as the next and the silence was refreshing.
