Visit to Chatsworth
Chatsworth House
Sunday, 28th August 2016
Chatsworth is one of England's grandest, and most popular, grand houses. Its popularity was apparent from the crowds that had gathered even on a Wednesday; its grandeur became more evident at every turn.
We were treated to excellent weather for our trip, allowing us to explore the extensive gardens. In the afternoon we enjoyed a guided tour of the house with an informative commentary. The Dukes of Devonshire have been art collectors since the seventeenth century, a tradition kept up by their twenty first century successors.
