Chatsworth is one of Britain’s best loved historic houses and estates. It has something for everyone to enjoy, from famous works of art, young animals and the spectacular fountains in the garden to the finest shopping, food and drink and many miles of free walks. The home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire is set in the magnificent landscape of Derbyshire’s Peak District National Park. The towns and villages of the Peak District offer a complete contrast to the wild outdoors, from quiet rural hamlets with quaint stone cottages, ponds, packhorse bridges and cobbled streets to the bustling centres and fine period architecture of the market towns.

ITINERARY

• Day One: We travel in a north easterly direction to Chatsworth House located in the Peak District. Here we have time to explore this amazing historic house and its magnificent landscaped gardens. From here we drive to Sheffield and our hotel for this weekend, the four star Hilton.

We spend the day travelling through spectacular scenery and visiting picturesque towns and villages such as Bakewell, Buxton and Ashbourne with its fine Tudor and Georgian buildings and narrow cobbled streets. We will arrive back in our local areas early evening.
