A clothed Chatsworth House






A drive past the Bakewell pudding shop, then off to Chatsworth House, it was still raining. We had to wait for Chatsworth to open, then stood in the rain listening to the free tour guide that was outside, and then walked around the house. Not people for national trust properties for grand houses, we didn't take too long to walk around but did enjoy the northern accents shouting down the banquetting room"why are the forks the wrong way round". Ali's response to the house was 'there is a lot of clutter' aka antiques. The gold leaf on the balcony was a bit bling and the majestic front of chatsworth house that you know of from Pride and Prejudice was actually all covered in scaffolding so we had to imagine what it was like.
