Chatsworth House visit,

April 15th.

Set in the Derbyshire countryside, Chatsworth House is a very popular destination for tourists.

Home of the Duke & Duchess of Devonshire.

The gardens are very well set out and they Include an Impressive water fountain and various sculptures around the gardens too. The Greenhouses were full of flowering Camelias on my visit and were as Impressive as the Greenhouses I'd seen at Kew Gardens in London a few years ago.

The Gardens were designed by Capability Brown and are very well cared for today.

The Cascade fountain is always popular with familes and the kids enjoy being in the water too.

The gift shop is very well stocked and there is a good resturant there too.

Parking was a bit difficult the day i went, though it was Easter Saturday afterall.

But I was suprised it was so busy, with the gardens not yet having too much colour.

Having had a late Spring here in England this year.

Another good place to see is the nearby Farm Shop, in the village of Pilsley.

Plenty of fresh grown produce and much of it produced on the Chatsworth estate too.
