Chatsworth House a 105-acre garden, a beautiful sight in summer, and a public part on the banks of the river Derwent. The garden reveals a selection of fine sights and puzzling curiosities, which include a sculture gallery, four royal thrones, memorable illusionist painting of a violin hanging on a door, and paintings by the likes of Rembrandt and Van Dyck. The gardens are a treat, and the surrounding park is a superb area of open space with fine scenery, woods and views of the house and surrounding area - an excellent place for relatively gentle walks.
