Chatsworth has something for young & old, From a farm and playground adventure to the house & gardens, or if you just want somewhere to picnic entry onto the estate is FREE you only pay for the bits you want to see. Farm shop is well stock with lots of local produce and is well worth a look.

We are regular visitors to Chatsworth; usually it is a very enjoyable experience, but not this time. We'd booked afternoon tea in the Cavendish Rooms as usual and things started well but went from bad to worse. After a 35 minute wait following our starter, the sandwiches finally arrived, but unfortunately the bread was dry and stale. Although they were... More

This was my best idea yet for a day out with the Dog and Him indoors!!! We paid £3.00 to park all day at Chatsworth and we walked all around the Estate, just beautiful. You can go everywhere exept In the House which we would not do anyway because we had the dog with us. We had lunch at the... More

Beautiful house with incredible paintings, statues, etc., extensive gardens, excellent food and gift shops. Very near Bakewell with plenty of parking. Owned by the Duke of Devonshire, not a National Trust property.

The gardens at Chatsworth are lovely and worth a visit in their own right, but did not go into house as did not have the time. We stayed in one of the cottages on the Chatsworth estate which was not cheap, but I would highly recommend anyone to stay there. Chatsworth Farm Shop is also a must, as is the... More

It is a great house and a real business venture for the Trust. Commendably ecological, supplying all it s own water and a high proportion of its electricity. The continual occupation by the Cavendish family has led to a continuum in architecture and furnishings as well as refurbishment. If possible, take the 'Behind the Scenes' tour which really brings the... More

Firstly this is not cheap £15 entry and there are several ways of spending even more money on site - The gift shop can be eye watering £6 tea towell, plastic chair £150 etc. Back to the good, this is a brilliant way of seeing how the very rich lived. There are 28 rooms open packed with history of the... More
