Chatsworth House Gardens, Peak District

Chatsworth House a must visit  House and Garden

Among the many features at Chatsworth House is the Great Cascade which was built in 1696 plus the Willow Tree Fountain, and the impressive gravity-fed Emperor Fountain. A restoration project is underway on the cascade.
A recent creation is Arcadia; a 15 acre area at the heart of the garden developed by the Chatsworth Garden team, and designed by Tom Stuart Smith. It is made up of peaceful meadow-like glades connected by woodland walks and featuring site-specific sculpture installation.
Arcadia provides views out across the park, with new routes between other parts of the garden that surround it. These include the Rockery and Maze to the west, the Trout Stream to the east, and the Grotto Pond to the south while the Cascade is situated to the north.
There is so much more to see with the fabulous rock garden originally designed with huge boulders recently re-imagined and now one of the highlights.
Other areas are:
Rose Garden
Maze
Kitchen Garden
Snake Terrace
Sensory Garden
Cottage Garden
When your tour is over rest on the grassy hillside overlooking the lake and fountain. All in all, a great day out for all the family.
The historic stately home is also open with paintings, antique furnishings, stupendous rooms, what more can we say.
