Welcome to this playground of the British aristocracy. This week, we are stepping away from the Mitford siblings to focus on Deboās most prominent achievement: Chatsworth House. This massive estate isn't just a homeāitās a historical powerhouse, a Hollywood filming darling, and a modern commercial machine. How many libraries are there? And how many window cleaners does it take to run this āhouseā?
We are taking a closer look at the gravity-defying Emperor Fountain, the Maze and the hedges, and, of course, the rare breeds of livestock roaming the grounds. Weāll also shed light on its darker history as a gilded prison for Mary, Queen of Scots.
Grab your (metaphorical) walking shoes and letās explore the 300+ rooms and 1,000+ acres of this ancestral monument.
