CHATSWORTH HOUSE
Chatsworth House, located in the Derbyshire Dales, England, is a historic stately home situated on the east bank of the River Derwent. Positioned 4 miles north-east of Bakewell and 9 miles west of Chesterfield, it has been the residence of the Cavendish family since 1549 and serves as the seat of the Duke of Devonshire. The house, a Grade I listed property from the 17th century with 18th and 19th-century alterations, is surrounded by parkland and wooded hills. Housing significant collections of paintings, furniture, Old Master drawings, neoclassical sculptures, and books, Chatsworth House underwent a £14-million restoration in 2011–2012. The property is managed by the Chatsworth House Trust, an independent charitable foundation established in 1981 on behalf of the Cavendish family. Notably, it has been selected multiple times as Britain's favourite country house.
