Chatsworth An open garden in Derbyshire

The jewel of the Peak District and home of the 12th Duke and Duchess of Devonshire. The house is a must see but the gardens are gorgeous with the superb water features and the landscaping by Capability Brown and Joseph Paxton - a must see the facilities are fantastic with a farm for the children restaurants for everyone and a tour on wheels around the gardens for the less able

And as an added bonus the house looks wonderful if you visit near Christmas when it is decorated Victorian style!

Agreed, Andrea. Chatsworth looks magnificent at Christmas. We've been twice just to see the wonderful decorations and Christmas trees. We usually make a weekend of it and stop at a hotel in nearby Rowsley - any excuse for a break!
