Chatsworth Park

Come with me for an Autumnal walk around Chatsworth Park.  All of a sudden, the leaves have started to turn.

We arrived later than we anticipated, so only had time to wander around the Stand Wood Walk.

I am always ready to sit and admire the view when we reach the top.
I always fancy staying in the Hunting Tower, and now you can hire a chef when you stay too!


There are a couple of lovely lakes up here.  They gather water from the moors, and then power the fountain in the gardens at Chatsworth House.
The Swiss Cottage also appeals as a weekend getaway too.


The facelift of the house is almost complete.


We had a lovely walk.

One of my favourite places, Diane.
Will you be going to see it over the Festive break? I especially love it at Christmas time.

I really must make an effort to go there, I have read so much about Chatsworth and Hardwick Hall and revel in the stories of both places.

Thanks Diane, I always look forward to your annual Autumn walk. We have to drive 3 - 4 hrs to see some Fall foilage. The trees here generally stay green all year round. Once the kids a bit older I hope we get to see some of the beautiful Autumn in our neighbouring States. Arkansas looks pretty spectactular. But until then I will enjoy good old Yorkshire! xx
