Chatsworth comprises a Grade I listed house and stables, a 105-acre garden, a 1,822-acre park, a farmyard and adventure playground, and one of Europe’s most significant private art collections.
It has been home to sixteen generations of the Cavendish family for nearly five centuries. Each has contributed to its careful evolution and preservation, creating the estate, archives and collections we enjoy today.
