Massive, spectacular late-17th-century home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, full of fine art and antique furniture. You view the state apartments and some 25 of the 125 private rooms, plus grand gardens designed by Capability Brown. It's inspired multiple books (starting with Pride and Prejudice in 1813), films and TV sagas.
Chatsworth House is a stately home in the Derbyshire Dales, 4 miles (6.4 km) north-east of Bakewell and 9 miles (14 km) west of Chesterfield, England. The seat of the Duke of Devonshire, it has belonged to the Cavendish family since 1549. It stands on the east bank of the River Derwent, across from hills between the Derwent and Wye valleys, amid parkland backed by wooded hills that rise to heather moorland.

The hall dates back to the 12th century but was rebuilt in the 1870s in cod-Jacobean style. Much of the furniture comes from the demolished Clumber Hall in Sherwood Forest. It was a teacher training college from 1945 but refurbished as a family home from 1997. The Italianate gardens are sometimes closed off as a wedding venue.
