Chatsworth Hunting Tower

Highlight • Monument

The Hunting Tower stands on the escarpment 400 feet (122 m) above Chatsworth House, on the edge of Stand Wood. Complete with old cannons facing the gorgeous view, it's a great place to stop for a moment. The tower was completed around 1582 for Bess of Hardwick, ancestress of the Dukes of Devonshire. These days, you can rent the Hunting Tower for overnight stays.

View of Chatsworth House

Highlight • Viewpoint

Chatsworth House is like something from a period drama. In fact, it was the filming location for Mr Darcy’s Pemberley home in the BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. Standing proudly amid rolling hills with the River Derwent meandering gently by, it is a stunning sight.

The 17th-century house contains works of art that span 4,000 years. The 105-acre garden, designed by Joseph Paxton, is equally famous. With historic waterworks, sculptures, a Victorian rock garden, a maze, plus more, there is a lot to explore.
