Hi

Chatsworth house is a private statly home owned by the duke and duchess of devonshire, they open it upto the public all year round.

The family are proberly more famous now as "the duchess" was filmed here staring keira knightly, about the familys history in the past.

Its now used for a few films, the next one coming out is "the wolfman"

It was also pemberly in the bbc production of pride and prejudice with colin firth.

Its a brilliant place to visit,we go lots in the summer, as the cascades are open to the kids to paddle in, and the kids love it.

Its even more stuning without the xmas decs lol. If you type chatsworth house into wilki or google you can find some fantastic pictures.
