Lovely pix, DD. I adore the water feature in #4 but I think it's a bit big for my garden. Pic #3 is my kind of place.
-
This is the water feature, called "Revelation" in action.
Not the best quality video though..

Brilliant pics DD. Had a couple of picnics there when we lived that way but were too tight to pay to go in. :roll:
Wonderful place though. Thanks for paying and sharing :wink:

There isn't anything I can add to that DD. The pics are fantastic and of the same topics as mine. We did take a naughty peek in the kitchen greenhouses this year (what keep out notice :roll: ) and the Revelation fascinates me.
Have you ever paddled on the steps?
I was hoping to go and see the house decorated for Christmas but don't think I will have time now. :cry:

Wouldn't want to pollute the water!

Superb pictures Dave :!:
-
Wow fab photies DD :D
Don't know if the rules have changed but back in 1999 you could take your dogs in the grounds as long as they were on a lead :)
Vember (the cat) loved it :wink: :lol:
Sarah :D

nice pics DD :D

very nice pic's I'm going there for easter weekend so realy looking forward to it!

nice pics DD :D
Had to look that up. I think there will be claims and counter claims here! Initial search shows Stanway House in the Cotswold claims 300 feet, whilst the one at Chatsworth has reached 290. The Stanway house website don't even give a nod to Chatsworth as second highest, claiming Whitley court at 121 feet is second!

Went today, I have to say it is amazing, everything about it is superb, theres not a single angle anywhere in all of he gardens that doesnt have a magnificant view. Plus the veg area is superb, i got a bit jelous of all there beautiful veg, espicially onions. As we walked round a few of the red currants just jumped into our mouthes, honest :ohmy: :lol: :tongue2:

Yeh, red currants are known for doing that ;) :lol: I bet they got quite a few other people today :D
-
Not that I was complaining :tongue2: :lol: :D
-
My friend took me there once. It is Awesome! We didn't get into the house though as she is in a wheelchair, but wonderful gardens, and a surprise feature round every turn. Did you see the tree made from metal?
-
No, I must hve missed that, theres just so much to see :)

Going again if you want to come along. Don't eat all the berries next time, leave some for the rest of us.

Chatsworth is one of my all time favourite places in the entire world. We've been Friends of Chatsworth for a couple of years now and think that it is money well spent. There's always something new to look at and the grounds are magnificent.
My favourite view is from the top of the water steps looking down onto the house and the hills beyond but I really enjoy exploring behind there to see what new areas have been created and planted up.
Can't wait to go again very soon.
-
Yep going there at the end of the month really looking forward to the garden plus tree colours if there are any leaves left.
-
Me, Hubby, child and Jamie are going again in November for the Christmas Fair. Can't wait. Never been at that time of the year so really excited about it. :lol: :lol: :lol:
-
I live close by and I've never been to see the house decked out for Christmas. They say it's magical and I aim to see it this year or bust :D
It is a wonderful house and garden and to see it takes ages to allow yourself plenty of time, eg a week :D
It is a very accessible place and is always open to walkers and picnickers and it's free unless you go into the house and garden. I don't think they charge anything to park on days when there's no events
There is a spectacular food hall but that's short way off from the house. Worth a visit though
-
I will be going again for the Christmas fair there with bizzi lizzi :D
-
Have just googled it and it sounds marvellous. Will be looking for a full report as it is too far away for me to visit
-
Off to Chatsworth a week on Saturday with child, OH and Jamie. Can't wait. :D
