Chatsworth House, Historic country house in Bakewell, England
The grand residence features 25 ornate rooms, including the Painted Hall and State Rooms, surrounded by 105 acres of landscaped gardens and parkland.
Construction of the present Chatsworth House began in 1687 under William Cavendish, with architects William Talman and Thomas Archer developing its English Baroque design.
The mansion contains a collection spanning 4,000 years of art history, from ancient Roman artifacts to Renaissance masterpieces and contemporary exhibitions.
Visitors can access the house, gardens, farmyard, and restaurants daily from March to January, with designated parking areas and wheelchair-accessible facilities throughout.
The Emperor Fountain in the Canal Pond reaches heights of 280 feet using only natural water pressure from the estate's elevated reservoir system.
