CHATSWORTH HOUSE & GARDENS

Set in the Derbyshire Peak District,
My Visit to Chatsworth was on April 15th.
Easter Saturday and turned out Sunny again.
Chatsworth House is always popular with Tourists at most times of the year and even with the Gardens not having much colour yet, it still was very well attended. I did'nt go around the house on this occasion, but have done before.
The gardens are large enough for a visit alone and Include quite a few Interesting features, including scultures and an Impressive Water Fountain. Also a water cascade that is popular with families & children. The gardens were designed by Capability Brown, a very highly respected Garden designer in his day. Though they have been kept very well over the years and new features added over recent years. There is a Farmyard & Adventure playground for children and also a well stocked couple of Gift shops and resturant too.
This is also the home of the Duke & Duchess of Devonshire, who play an active role in Improving the facilities there and also a number of Summer events are held in the grounds.
A place well worth visiting and one of a number of scenic spots in the Peak District.
