Elegant stately home that will transport you back in time

Chatsworth is a magnificent stately home nestled in the lush countryside of the Peak District in central England. If you’re passing by Bakewell nearby, you may want to give this striking location a visit as well.

In fact, Jane Austen fans will definitely want to make the detour as the house stood in for Pemberley in Pride & Prejudice (2005). You won’t meet Mr Darcy, but you might spot his bust in the sculpture’s hall.

Whether you’re an Austen enthusiast or not though, you’re sure to be impressed by Chatsworth. The listed house that evolved since its origins in Elizabethan times. Through generations of Earls of Devonshire, repairs and extensions have made it what it is today.

You can visit the lavish interiors throughout the years, with events and decorations marking occasions such as Christmas or the Country Fair. Picture marble floors, gilded furniture, painted ceilings and larger-than-life portraits. This is the stately you’ll want to make time for.   

Chatsworth also sits amidst an 1,822-acre park. On a sunny day, you’ll find it glorious to take a stroll and admire the building and its surroundings. There are even waterworks and sculptures that you can discover through the 100 acres of gardens.

If you’re visiting with children, don’t miss the farmyard and adventure playground. Kids can meet and feed a range of friendly animals and spend their energy at the rope park and zip line.  

You’ll also find a gift shop, café, restaurant and farm shop on-site, so you could make a whole day of it.
