Chatsworth
The Chatsworth Estate covers an area of 35,000 acres (14,000 hectares or 55 sq. miles) spread over more than 20 miles of Derbyshire and Staffordshire. The 1000 acre park that surrounds Chatsworth is open throughout the year at no charge. A free car park is provided and everyone is welcome to walk, play and picnic in the Park. The House has 1.3 acres of roof, under which there are 175 rooms, 3,426 feet of passages, 17 staircases and 359 doors, all lit by 2,084 light bulbs. There are 397 external window frames, 62 internal window frames, 5 roof lanterns and 60 roof lights with a grand total of 7,873 panes of glass. 27 baths, 55 wash hand basins, 29 sinks, 6 wash ups and 56 lavatories complete these unusual statistics.During normal opening hours, visitors walk around the house at their own pace. It is possible to book a private guided tour in advance and this can be arranged to begin before other visitors have access. This offers a rare opportunity to see the rooms and their outstanding treasures without being disturbed and to ask questions as you go round. Tours last approximately 1½ hours and are led by knowledgeable guides. Tours are available in English, French and Italian. |
