A little History

Chatsworth remains the home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire. The house has been passed down through 16 generations of the Cavendish family. The house’s architecture and various collections have been evolving for 500 years.

The house has over 30 rooms to explore (It’s advisable to call ahead to enquire if there are any restrictions. Chatsworth house Derbyshire is constantly improving itself and certain refurbishments undertaken may cause some rooms to be closed. To be fair to the Chatsworth estate these refurbishments are usually done when the house is closed to the public)

The rooms you can visit include a magnificent Painted Hall, regal State Rooms, newly restored Sketch Galleries and the beautiful Sculpture Gallery. In the Guest Bedrooms, meet an Edwardian Lady's Maid who will be revealing the secrets of her mistress's suitcase of clothes, or dress up in one of our period costumes.

The diverse art collection, which Chatsworth houses, is one of Europe’s most significant and has been added to over the years by each Cavendish family generation. The collection includes Old Masters, contemporary ceramics, artefacts from Ancient Egypt, modern sculpture and computer portraits to name but a few. The Old Master Drawings Cabinet opened in 2012 to showcase selections from over 2000 pieces within the collection, many of which have not been publicly displayed within living memory. Further information about the collection can be found on Chatsworth house web site.
