Wandering around Sheffield and its surroundings you will not find great things to do, but if you are a fan of films and want to see a truly enchanting place Peak District. Here is one of the most beautiful English mansions you have ever seen, I can bet, it is Chatsworth House.
Let's start from the beginning. The Peak District which is the Britain's first national park and the most visited in Europe. The Peak District national park boundaries extend to West Yorkshire, south to Derbyshire, Cheshire and South Yorkshire.
Chatsworth House it is located within the Peak District and is a large castle in Derbyshire just a few miles from the town of Bakewell. Built starting in the XNUMXth century, the park is located on the left bank of the River Derwent.
In 1687 the castle was rebuilt in the Baroque style thus becoming the most important country house of England. In the eighteenth century, the park was redesigned in a neoclassical style and I can assure you that an excursion inside this park among plants, flowers, greenhouses, architectural installations and even a real maze is really worth it.
The current proprietario is the Duchess Deborah of Devonshire, nee Mitford, younger sister of the writer Nancy Mitford. The interesting thing is that here you can do several activities for both family than for children. Furthermore, after having made an excursion inside the house, which will certainly take you at least a few hours, you can safely eat in the garden below in absolute tranquility and harmony.
Inside the shop you will surely find something delicious to buy, I took home, and then ate, a huge sheep-shaped biscuit with white icing on top. Outside Chatsworth House, in fact, it is full of sheep that do not come near at all, but they are beautiful even from a distance.
Il full ticket costs £ 18 for adults and £ 12 for children and includes visits to the house, garden and farm. If you want to save something, skip the farm, I did this and I have not regretted it, but if you have children I think it is a must. The house and garden cost £ 15 for adults and £ 9 for children. In all cases the booking online involves a 10% discount.
