Yep..it is a grand old house to explore and the gardens just add to the splendour of a visit. I don’t think we will ever build estates like this ever again.
Even with all our Kids and Grand Kids plus hangers on round for Christmas I guess we would still rattle around in the house….mind you it would be great for hide and seek!
Avid admirer of DownTon Abbey, I could see the changes from more feudalistic to more equality of the people and I think that is a good thing. However, the treasures of such places must be kept in good order. I am also a fan of the National Trust. ๐
Estates like Chatsworth, still in family hands, do provide a great benefit to the economy , employment and the local community, farming in particular would be much worse off.
Beautiful! One of the treasure houses of England!

Makes the House and gardens look quite small and compact….I am more used to exploring it on foot
