Chatsworth House

Chatsworth House

Chatsworth House is an historical home in Derbyshire, England...this is the home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire..now, I'm not sure why the Duke of Devonshire would have a home in Derbyshire..I think it was a gift or something around 400 years ago..

Anyways, it's a beautiful stately home that allows visitors to enter and view many of the elegant and historical rooms...the artwork is one of Europes finest private collection..Throughout the house, there are magnificent displays of paintings, furniture, silver, tapestries and porcelain...

The gardens are huge and offer trails and walks, people can even picnic there too! There is a waterfall and a maze in the garden which I didn't go see cuz it started raining..lol..and there's a farm house too, and also a farm shop where you can buy products and meat that are grown on the estate..there's lots to see and the website recommends about five hours to see it all!! lol...I didn't stay that long tho...

It was still raining when I took this picture of the house...kinda reminds me of the house in the movie 'Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan', but it's not..lol..another fyi for ya..that was at Blenheim House in Oxfordshire...however the Chatworth House has been in the movies quite a bit, like the 2005 'Pride and Prejudice' with Kiera Knightly.
