I went there at Xmas once n accidently walked into the family's Xmas dinner. Servants everywhere carrying platters... They just ignored me. Prob thought I was the gardener...

[@katrinashaw3174]

Christmas there is like a magical wonderland! Well worth a visit!

[@claireaustick8898]

Hi guys I live in Sheffield so this is on my doorstep. When I go I walk my dogs around the grounds and it's beautiful. You can't take dogs inside but with those grounds who needs to. I've been inside many times and you never see everything. I'm so,so blessed to have such beauty all around me. If you do make it over here then please please please visit Derbyshire. I love your passion for all things British thanks guys ❤

[@karolynwainwright8000]

Travel companies run coach trips to Chatsworth, many thousands of people visit every year especially at Christmas

[@janolaful]

​@@mykota2417 it's beautiful there at Christmas I hope they invited you to join them lol 😊

[@michaelnolan6951]

I am from NZ, currently live in England (Salford) Chatsworth was the first stately home I ever visited and even walking through the grounds you can feel the effect of centuries of planned landscaping and gardening. Inside was literally mindblowing. I was vey quickly overwhelmed by the amount of historical detritus collected by a family who has lived here for centuries. On back staircase, dimly lit by a bare bulb, I found a 500 year old Tintoretto painting - not behind glass or velvet rope. There were hundreds of visitors but it was so big I was alone most of the time. At one point I sat down in an empty corridor to rest. It was only after i got up that I realised I had been sitting on King George IIIs coronation throne. (Why was it here?) Oh, this bedroom was where the Duke of. Wellington slept? Oh, this is a 5000 year old Egyptian memory stele? Coming from a country where the very oldest buildings were barely 150 years old, Chatsworth was like a dream.

[@Garyskinner2422]

Nicely worded, I'm a tad confused why you used the word detritus though, this means debris or waste haha

[@damienyoung751]

Thumbs up for Salford.. but you came here to Salford from NZ?.. wowzers lol😂

[@stephenhickman304]

That’s EXACTLY the sense I feel when there - it’s just stunning. As for value…….? it’s priceless

[@wendyfield7708]

Michael Nolan. The coronation THRONE would not be at Chatsworth. It is very ancient and use only for the actual crowning of the monarch. It is more likely to be another chair used at George III’s Coronation…

[@michaelnolan6951]

​@@wendyfield7708I am just remembering the label on the wall, soI could be wrong. My impression was that it was called the Coronation Throne but I cannot swear to it.

[@nadeansimmons226]

The great thing about the current duke is the fact he keeps adding to the art collection and is not afraid of buying modern works just like his ancestors did.

[@enkiofsumer8374]

The old Duke and Duchess were an amazing couple. They spoke to everyone the same, no heirs and graces about them at all. The 'new' Duke seems the same. Such a down to earth family, considering their background.

[@garymaxfield6904]

I’m happy that this place is literally 15 minutes drive away from my home. We’re so lucky.

[@misselizabethclaire7765]

Chatsworth at Christmas is absolutely unreal. They do a different theme every year and it's so elaborate ✨

[@pooch12341]

When my mum was alive. I drove her to chatsworth every time.i went back home.What ever season. I think I enjoyed it as much as her❤

[@joansargent5604]

I went to Bible College just nearby and used to walk in the grounds. In the early 80’s 4 of us were walking in the grounds and we came across 2 ladies with dogs we stopped to pass the time of day, imagine our surprise to realise it was the Duchess of Devonshire (Debo one of the Mitford girls) and the Queen, we were blown away, the Queen used to visit occasionally. We were truly blessed.

[@kellyedwards6343]

I took my Mum for a tour around the house in 1998. She had always wanted to see Chatsworth. I'm glad I did, as we unfortunately lost her to Cancer in 2020. It was spectacular

[@saralindley]

I once took my mum to Chatsworth, while we were walking round the gardens she told me to watch for someone coming and then proceeded to bend down and steal some seed pods from a pretty flowering plant in the border.😂 When I told her off she said "if the Duke wants to come and steal some of the seed pods from my garden he's more than welcome. 😂 Every spring she would nudge me and tell me her Chatsworth plant was flowering. The house is truly stunning up close, and I really do hope you both get to visit one day.

[@williamjohnson4117]

This story rings a bell with me as my mother used to tell me how HER mother would visit statly homes and when she got home they would discover that her handbag was full of cuttings that she had taken without anyone noticing - and they always grew!

[@christineharding4190]

I'm a Londoner but Derbyshire is my favourite county. Beautiful countryside, gorgeous houses and picturesque villages and towns.

[@valeriedavidson2785]

Try Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds. The villages are very beautiful - and the scenery. Much greener and warmer than Derbyshire. The stone walls are a golden colour.

[@AnOldEnglishBloke]

Head to Buxton if you like Derbyshire.

[@veronikabartram2092]

The BBC version of Pride and Prejudice is the best ever and a must see

[@davestubbs7274]

Great reaction 👍 A few years ago on my late mothers 80th birthday we took her to Chatsworth for the day, she was in a wheelchair. We met up with my nephew who worked there and he introduced my mother to the Duke and duchess of Devonshire who wished her happy birthday and had a nice chat. she never forgot that day 🙂

[@paulbromley6687]

I live Twenty minutes drive from Chatsworth house. It has so much going for it.

[@ladykaycey]

Natasha, a fellow Jane Austin fan here. I've watched just about every series and film of Pride and Prejudice. I really enjoyed the Keira Knightley film but for me the absolute winner is the 1990s BBC series starring Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth. Every details wonderful ❤

[@nadeansimmons226]

Both Chatsworth and Castle Howard were our go to weekend places to visit as a family when we were growing up. They are so beautiful and absolutely fascinating

[@enkiofsumer8374]

I think that was pretty much everyone's weekend, of my generation, visit Matlock Bath, Bakewell and then have a picnic in Chatsworth Park, at the side of the river Derwent (where they tested the 'bouncing bomb' at the Derwent dam, for the attack on the dams of the Ruhr). I did it with my kids too, and can't wait to do it with my Granddaughter as.

[@walkfarm1]

It is now £30 to tour Castle Howard and just £18 for a ticket to the grounds only. Just saying.

[@gloriaadams2181]

I have to confirm that you have not experienced the best Pride and Prejudice until you watch the TV series with Colin Firth. It is, in my humble opinion, perfectly cast for every character! I never tire of rewatching it. Perfection!!!

[@kitkatbrabson2794]

At Christmas, they decorate the inside of the house to match the age of Chatsworth House, they also have a Christmas Market 🎄. It is very beautiful 😍

[@paulmurphy5648]

My dad was a semi-professional kids entertainer and did the Chatsworth House staff Christmas Party for years. Up to the age of about 10, I was his "stooge" and remember a few great Christmas days there. I know I met the Duke and Duchess (they gave me a present even though Dad did not work for them) but I do not really remember them. My dad said they were lovely, down to earth people with no poncy airs and graces. I live about 20 miles from Chatsworth and spend some happy summers days walking round the grounds and house in my own little "Christmas Party" dream world remembering my dad and the fun we had in that great house. Allegedly, the present Duchess spends a lot of time in the gardens "pottering about", I wonder how many of us have had a pleasant chat with a female gardener without realising we were actually talking to Her Grace!!!

[@shmuelparzal]

Here's a funny tale about my first visit to Chatsworth House: As an autistic child, my grasp of language was worse back then. In about 1971, my parents told us we were going to visit a stately home (the general term for houses like this that are open to the public). In my ten-year-old, autistic mind, I got this mixed up with 'old people's home'. It didn't help that I had recently visited elderly relatives in a place with 'House' in its title. So I thought to myself, 'Why are they making such a big deal about visiting an old people's home?' Are we going to be walking around just looking at old people?' Needless to say, when we got there, my mind was blown away by what Chatsworth House actually turned out to be

[@mehitabel6564]

The other wonderful thing about Britain's stately homes is that apart from being open for visitors, they also stage all sorts of outdoor public events, especially during the summer. It is so special to visit on a long summer evening with a picnic and watch a concert. Close to us is Berkeley Castle, one of the oldest continually inhabited castles in the country. We saw a play of Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' in the wooded moat, on the 420'th anniversary of the play's creation. We only found out afterwards that in fact the play had been written especially for the wedding of one of the Berkeley family, and was first shown in the exact spot where we saw it 420 years later. Pretty cool.

[@JeffreyLear]

My eldest daughter was married at Chatsworth and before the ceremony we were resident at the Devonshire Arms Beeley, magical.

[@ruthb7131]

Derbyshire born and bred, used to live 20 mins away. Awesome house, amazing gardens

[@janhawranke8064]

Me too....

[@peterjackson4763]

I went to Chatsworth earlier this year for the first time since I was a child. It was smaller than I remembered, but just as beautiful.

[@NeilusNihilus]

Absolutely stunning.

[@conjigalo]

Ha! I saw my old house in this video. My family is an old derbyshire family. I prefer Haddon hall. It’s not as splendid but is a literal time capsule that was boarded up in the 1500’s and is perfectly preserved. See if you can find any vids of that. 👍

[@susanashcroft2674]

I know I commented in your video on Eyam that I went on a school trip to Chatsworth House then onto Eyam. I was around 7 or 8 years old at the time and fell in love with Chatsworth and remember clearly the step fountain and all the beautiful grounds as well as the house. I've still got my black and white photos I took of the day some 50 years ago, including a horse and it's foal that were grazing in the grounds. I am surprised she didn't show the Violin and Bow painting which is known as a Trompe l'oeil, an illusion created to make the violin look like it is hanging from the door that was painted around 1723. It took me a few years or more before I returned to visit Chatsworth and was still as in love with the place. If you ever get the chance to go Natasha and Debbie please go, it truly is a beautiful place to visit and explore.

[@sandrabeaumont9161]

I've visited Chatsworth and have to say it is a most beautiful place. Never went in the house sadly. They have many events at Chatsworth which is why I was there.

[@stevenbeech7310]

If you like it like that you should see it when they decorate for Christmas. Its absolutely stunning

[@leohickey4953]

When I lived in Sheffield, Chatsworth was just a short drive away and I always found it to be a popular place for a visit during the warm months. Local people appreciate the opportunity to eat a picnic on the giant lawns and don't abuse the Duke's and Duchess's hospitality by leaving litter. Farm animals wander around the estate, checking out the visitors and posing for pictures, and there is a herd of deer running around the estate too. Of course the house itself is spectacular as this video shows.

[@LesleyDruce]

It's 30 minutes from where I live so I know it very well. Chatsworth is magnificent, she didn't show many of the rooms, there are so many more that are open for the public. In the warm weather the cascade is filled with children, (of all ages!) all paddling and playing, and the thing which will make it perfect for you two lovely ladies, is that dogs are welcome into the gardens. Yes at Christmas each year the house is decorated beautifully, it's a different theme each year. You would love it!

[@pash47]

I have been to Chatsworth many times, often for the Game Fair that was kindly hosted by the Duke and Duchess. Only on one occasion have i had the good fortune to visit the inside and and gardens - So memorable and makes you proud to be British.

[@valeriekill6270]

I live in London, I am 61 years old and ashamed to say the only stately home I have ever been in is Hampton Court Palace. It is so beautiful and the gardens are stunning 😊

[@maxmoore9955]

Spent many happy hours walking in the Chatsworth House Estate with the Dog. Also visited the House. Also worked at Hardwick Hall owned by Bess of Hardwick who Married a Cavendish. She was a Hand Maiden to Queen Elizabeth 1 .All her previous husbands died Mysteriously as she got Richer each time .😮

[@danielhayton9438]

My wife took a party of Americans round Chatsworth and, because my in-laws lived locally and we were frquent visitors to the area, she received a nod of recognition from the Dowager Duchess.

[@QuakerJones268]

We live VERY close by. One of our dogs ashes are sprinkled in the gardens.

[@catastrophic009]

One thing that was not mentioned is the painted violin & bow hanging on a door known as the Trompe l'oeil (French for 'deceive the eye')...It is so realistic & actually looks like a real violin ! You have to see that with your own eyes to appreciate it !

[@MaxineSmith027]

Its actually lovely to see our Stately Homes and villages through fresh eyes. When I was a child, we visited all the local stately homes with the school on Environmental Studies, which in turn led to me visiting as many as I could, introducing my children to them as a parent. Wherever I go in the country, I try to visit a fresh place. The villages are different because we see them all the time, either driving through or small villages becoming incorporated into towns and cities, although they still keep their charm. Lovely video yet again ladies, thank you 😊

[@kelticscribe]

Hi Natasha and Debbie, I live 25 minutes away from Chatsworth and have visited it several times. Christmas at Chatsworth is magical. My black labrador Freya and I have the pleasure of frequent walks in Chatsworth Park. It's free to walk in the parkland and to ride a horse on the public bridleways. You just have to pay for parking. It's an incredible and beautiful stately home. Two other films that were filmed at Chatsworth were, "The Dutchess" 2008 and "The Wolfman" 2010. When you do get to visit the UK, please make sure you visit Chatsworth House. It's a must see and should be on your top 10 things to visit here. I promise you, you won't be disappointed.

[@marcustomlinson-me3wk]

i live in Nottingham and Chatsworth is a short car ride away and i visited quite few years ago and it is spectacular house and place

[@lyndarichardson4744]

Glad you enjoyed the video Natasha & Debbie. If you've got a DVD player that is universal, PLEASE buy the DVD of the 1995 , BBC's 6 part adaptation of Pride & Prejudice. Colin Firth plays Mr, Darcy, and Jennifer Erle , a Canadian actress, play Elizabeth. It's just sublime ❤

[@nicolad8822]

Jennifer Ehle is American with an English mother the actress Rosemary Harris. Born Winston Salem North Carolina.

[@CechKris]

I can recommend this version too. Colin Firth is the best Mr. Darcy.

[@juliarabbitts1595]

If you want to see more if Chatsworth find Death Comes to Pemberley which was filmed at Chatsworth

[@cjscitcat]

That version I watched with mum when it came out. We loved it and when mum died it was almost like therapy to rewatch. When I'm low and miss her I still binge watch it. My son laughs at how I know the lines so precisely. Visits to Chatsworth also help me cope with mums loss, she always seems close to me there.

[@maggiemay6625]

Ladies I go to chatsworth once a year I could never get tired of this place it’s magical I hope one day you ladies get to visit and who knows I may bump into you as always 10/10 for your content presented with a smile❤️🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@tim1812h]

What a delightful tour that was. Strange to see Natasha stuck for words. When you visit UK next year a visit to Chatsworth seems to be a must. Then you can write that romance novel Natasha. 😘I can imagine Natasha riding up to the house in period costume and the love of her life, Debbie, waiting on the steps also in period costume. Maybe I am just an old romantic at heart. If you get the chance you have to watch Christmas at Chatsworth. Love, hugs and prayers from Sussex, UK.

[@w0033944]

Shades of "Gentleman Jack".

[@tim1812h]

I hadn't thought of that but maybe 🤔@@w0033944 Perhaps I should write that novel? 🤔Or at least a short story?

[@paulicini]

lived in Lincolnshire for many year but Derbyshire is my home county. We still visit Chatsworth most years, they have a wonderful country fair, ( the terrier racing is something else) and the Christmas decorations are superb. All their events are so well organised. The estate also have a farm shop which stocks the highest quality local produce. Another Derbyshire house nearby is Haddon Hall, the most perfectly preserved example of a manor house from the middle ages, helped by being unoccupied for 200 years.

[@stevegrundy9817]

From a Yorkshire man Yep it a stunning house .I drive pass it every day to get to work .

[@unojayc]

I'd love Christmas in this house!.. Wow!

[@manbate05]

Oh Girls, you kill me!! Discovered you some months ago and i am hooked on your show, brilliant! Anyway, Chatsworth, just over an hour away from me, if you get the chance take a look at Chatsworth at Christmas, we visit every year, the Christmas market, stables, illuminated gardens, house all decorated. And if your liking the country houses and have time take a look at Castle Howard, stunning. Love, Love Love your show, i suppose we do take the history for granted when you live around it for so long and it is literally everywhere! regards, Adrian UK

[@becgoutorbe]

I live 6 miles away from Chatsworth House and walk my dog around the estate 🐶😊 you never get tired of the view of Chatsworth House 😍 I also has a membership card for Chatsworth (£220 per year) but I can go in the House, Garden and all the estate as often as I like. plus to some events which are included within the membership. I sometimes go every day, so I probably do take it for granted. It is different every time you go believe it or not because there is so much to see including wildlife Great video Thanks 😊

[@KeithJackson-g8w]

We live 6 miles from Chatsworth and go regularly, to walk round the gardens. Most recently we were there 2 days ago, when we took our granddaughter. The house and gardens are decorated for Christmas…with winter wonderland walks with the trees lit up. It is just as beautiful as the video.

[@saragarratt4397]

I'm very lucky enough to live near Chatsworth. It's absolutely beautiful, in every season. JFK's sister, Kathleen, is buried in the churchyard at Edensor, which is a village nearby. He visited her grave just a few months before he was assassinated. Bobby and Ethel also visited sometime later. I try and make time to go to 'Kick's' grave on the anniversary of JFK's visit. Just to pay my respects to them all. God bless from Bakewell, in Derbyshire, England x

[@joecliffe5939]

I Love all of Jane Austen’s works, however I think my favourite will always be Emma! Loved the video!

[@valeriedavidson2785]

Try Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire. To my mind that is the most magnificent of all. It is massive. I have been to both palaces several times.

[@seanhopton.]

Hi, l was born and raised in Derbyshire. Besides Chatsworth, there is Hardwick( Elizabethin) Hall, Hadon Hall to name a few great places to visit. A few years back they gold leafed the golden gate and all the window frames of the house, to bring them back to there "former glory" I use too take my Dog" Fleck " around the grounds, l didn't like it when he rolled in the Sheep pooh !! You can park your car in the grounds,maybe have a picnic or you can eat & drink at the "cafe" in the grounds of Chatsworth. All these places are in the peak District National park,you can roam around the grounds free, but you have to pay to enter the House. I am so proud to have been born in Chesterfield, Derbyshire.l live in a great County!!. P.s keep up the good work love from Sean xxx

[@stephensmith9355]

My mother worked at Chatsworth when i was a child, i have such great memories of playing in the vast grounds as a child with my friends and swimming in the river in summer . It's especially beautiful at Christmas..

[@danboi7971]

I'm from Derbyshire and we go to Chatsworth house often, we go every year for Bonfire night and for Christmas each year, it is gorgeous but sometimes i have to admit, you forget how lucky you are to have all of this beauty and history on your doorstep.

[@keithhurst2970]

9 minutes and 20 seconds into this reaction video look through the open door and you can see a violin hanging on the back of another door. This violin and door looks real but it is in fact painted on the wall in the room next door, just another example of the quality of the artwork at Chatsworth. When you visit England this is THE stately home to visit. It is as described "the finest country house in England" closely followed by Blenhiem Palace home of the dukes of Marlbourough (Winston Chuchill's family). Sir Winston is laid to rest in the local village churchyard at Bladon.

[@exthereon6916]

If your a Jane Austin fan you absolutely HAVE to watch the BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. It’s 6 hours or so long. But it’s unbelievably good. It’s worth whatever you would have to pay to watch it. Honestly, it’s one of the best things the BBC ever did.

[@dequ-1]

This. It is the definitive TV/Film adaptation of P&P. I have watched this adaptation maybe a dozen times over the years. An unlikely "all time favourite" TV series for a 60 year old man. Whatever it costs, get a copy to watch, worth every cent, I promise.

[@carrie2608]

Chatsworth is 20 minutes from where I live in Derbyshire. I can inform you ladies it is very well visited by us Brits. I myself frequently visit to walk the grounds with my dog along the banks of the River Derwent that runs through the estate. There is so much to see you never bore of the sights. Well worth a visit by everyone. 😊

[@kelvinlambert4249]

Great to see you enjoy Chatsworth where my sister works. A must read is the story of the late Dowager Duchess, Deborah Mitford, one of the "Mitford girls". As a child I remember sitting with her on a bale of straw watching a pony show, and my family would visit the gardens where she would be out with a basket collecting some eggs. You may have spotted the gilt paint in the window frames which gives the Windows a golden glow in the afternoons. What was missing from the video was the Emperor Fountain which at one-time reached 300 feet and is gravity powered, a marvel of engineering. The Chatsworth Calendar is full of amazing events including the international horse trials, Country Fair, Royal Horticultural Society Flower show, Christmas Market and especially when the houses length see the Christmas decorations. The treasures throughout the house are breathtaking.

[@Hairdooer]

Dear Natalia and Debbie, I had the honour of visiting this rural Masterpiece a few years ago and was left stunned and yearning to return. I can remember telling myself that it’s perfection in every way. Every direction you look in no matter which part of this house and garden your stood you see beauty like no other. It’s manicured to perfection. If you two wonderful girls never see another Manor House make sure you don’t miss this one. The Lsdt Dutchess of Devonshire was an incredible Art collector and it shows. Please go and see this, you will never regret or forget this jewel in the Derbyshire countryside. Much love Richard Bishop Worcester uk x

[@andrewbairstow8600]

We used to go here for school trips. We ignored the house and just ran up and down the grass and played with the water. 😊

[@louisekullar6629]

I live an hour away in Nottingham.This is worth the money to go round. We usually just go around the grounds. I was once looking at a portrait of Henry VIII when an American visitor said very loudly "wow is he real .. l thought he was a myth a legend' ., we politely suppressed our giggles😂 . But she did provide me with an anecdote that l've told forever!! It was pre internet and obviously she couldn't educate herself like you lovely ladies! Chatsworth was also used in the film 'The Duchess' .. a true story also with Keira Knightly.

[@jenniferfox301]

When my kids were small we were having a picnic at the side of the Cascade when an older gentleman wearing Speedos walked up the steps of the Cascade. He got to the top and sat down in the pool, causing some muttering as kids were playing there. Whispers abounded til we heard the kids were OK, the late Duke was just escaping the hot weather and wanted to play with the families enjoying his property. You guys need to visit/stay in Derbyshire and go to the Blue John mines which aren't too far from Chatsworth which has some beautiful vases and ornaments made from this rare form of fluorite. There are loads of shops in the neighbouring villages which sell Blue John in jewellery and maybe some small ornaments but it's not cheap. Love these vids highlighting our glorious landscapes and estates, houses etc. Thanks, girls ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Varksterable]

I usually hit the "like" when I start any of your videos. Some channels just do that. You hit "like" because you know it's going be good; whatever you have posted it's going to be a 'like' or I wouldn't have subscribed to it. There are surprisingly few that fit in that category, though. Which I find a bit surprising. Given how much time I spend online looking at and for such things. But you two definitely deserve a like, and I enjoy every single one of your videos. And you are both beautiful, BTW. I'll just ignore the comments at the start.

[@StevenHall-r1w]

Hi Natasha & Debbie just watched your reaction to Chatsworth house which my wife and I visited for the first time in August and as you surmise it blows you away, and yes it dose have winter activities including a light walk in the garden. Also while on holiday in Cambridge this year we visited the only American war cemetery in the UK, worth checking out. It has final resting place of over 3000 American heroes and a memorial wall with the names of over 2000 missing in action personnel including great band leader Glen Miller. P.S. love the show and am subscribed, also one for you Debbie I am ex R.A.F. having served 22 years, going back to your Red Flag video I was at 4 red flags as ground crew between 1992 & 2000. Keep up the great videos. Your fan Steven Hall North Yorkshire.

[@thomascochrane4922]

The house and grounds are wonderful all the time, but to see the house decorated for Christmas is something else!

[@lyndapet1]

Kathleen Kennedy the sister of JFK married into the Cavendish family and is buried at chatsworth

[@shirleymoffat3338]

What I love about Chatsworth is that, although it's been handed down from Duke to Duke, the three people who have been most influential in its history are women. Bess of Hardwick who effectively created it, Georgiana Duchess of Devonshire who was so very influencial in England in the 18th century and Deborah (Debo), Duchess of Devonshire, who took on Chatsworth after her marriage to Andrew Cavendish, a younger son, who never expected to inherit the title. I believe his older brother was killed in WW2. It was in a poor state of repair and there was no money to put it right. Fortunately, Debo, youngest of the Mitford sisters, had what it took to turn the situation around and bring the estate back to what it is now. I live about an hour and a half away from Chatsworth and have visited several times. I love it and regret that I never saw Debo Devonshire there when she was alive - she used to wander around and chat to people. Chatsworth is an amazing place and the nearby Hardwick Hall, where Bess lived whilst she was having Chatsworth built is also a fascinating place. She was an incredible woman!

[@eileencox3373]

I was born and grew up 20 minutes from Chatsworth hour, I’ve been there many times but it still amazes me how

[@mikestarkey7989]

The estates of these stately homes were originally a lot larger.

Girls. We have so many such houses in the UK that it is hard to miss them. Here it's as if one Estate lies next to another, each with it's own great house at the core. This is besides the castles, churches, monastic ruins everywhere. We are so blessed. Such places are regularly busy with visitors, whenever they are open. At the moment Castle Howard, & others are beginning their Christmas 🎄 displays, which are always spectacular.

I really really enjoy your reactions to our beautiful country... however ther is some one in the house doesn't !!! We rescued a parrot whose owners sadly died ...he was a visitor here when his owners went on holiday . Now every time he hears Natasha's voice ...he goes crazy , turns up his volume , runs back and forth along his perches ! When I say loud ...I mean loud ! Neighbours call often checking all is okay !! He is now banished to the office whilst I catch up with you both ! Keep doing what you are doing !!

When you two come to England a visit to Chatsworth house is a absolute must.

[@jsyorks2023]

The hubby and I visit chatsworth often. Especially at Christmas time. It’s rather magical. The Christmas market is fun. We have a caravan (trailer US). There is a Caravan Club site on the grounds of Chatsworth. Situated a short walk from the house and nearby village with a couple of great pubs for a pint and British grub. Great for walking our dog. You should definitely visit ladies should you visit the north of England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧

Since retiring I’ve been volunteering, first at Hardwick Hall the home of Bess of Hardwick who built Chatsworth. Now I’m volunteering at Brodsworth Hall near Doncaster and about to start at Wentworth Woodhouse Rotherham. I speak to visitors and present the history and provide security against people who may damage or steal (but nothing like this has ever happened whilst I’ve been on duty). These properties keep bored retired people like me active and socialising with other volunteers. English Heritage and The National Trust provide us with a comfy room with tea and coffee etc. To sit and chat with friends during break times keeps us old people sane. Then we get to care for some amazing antiques.

Chatsworth is my absolute favourite country house! I adored visiting as a child

[@di_tattoolover]

I have visited Chatsworth a couple of times. Its around 2 hours from me. Last time we went, my Mum spoke to a guy who was looking after one of the Dining rooms and she commented how lucky he was to work there,, He said he had been there over 25 years and still hasn't seen every room. It really is as spectacular as it looks.

I love about an hour from Chatsworth, as I child we lived closer. It was one of my mum favourite places and is one of mine.. My ex hubby's cousin was head chef for the Duke and Duchess in the 90's, allowing us a chance to visit the staff lodgings in the house. Simply to drive through the Estate is stunning but my favourite time ti visit is coming up. Next week we visit for the first of a 4 week outdoor Chatsworth Christmas market. A few yrs ago and 2 days after mum died, my family scooped me up and took me to the Chatsworth Christmas market. A bitter sweet day because it seemed like we could feel her. Chatsworth means a great deal to many. Only 4 or so moles away is the most stunning house called Hadden Hall. Which is highly recommended. Hadden Hall is older than Chatsworth and used in many movies. The Princess Bride was filmed there. The 1995 BBC Pride and Prejudice is by far the best version,.I hope you manage to see it.

[@karenbrough6449]

I am so lucky to live quite close. Beautiful area. We visit regularly to walk the land or attend large equestrian events

[@michaels640]

If you go to Derbyshire when you come, and visit Bakewell, try the Bakewell Pudding, not the Bakewell Tart. It’s absolutely gorgeous, with custard or cream, but they will give you both if asked, and that’s best.

[@martinwebb1681]

I live just 5 minutes drive from Grimsthorpe castle in South Lincolnshire and twenty minutes drive from Burghley House stateley home and gardens also in South Lincolnshire which is in Eastern England. Although I drive past them all the time and admire there beauty in passing I have never actually visited either of them. I think we sometimes just take these things for granted.

[@09corpoblu]

It's a 40-minute drive from where my parents live. I've visited a couple of times since I was younger with my parents. Now, I live quite far away in Wales and recently went back with my boyfriend. It's still as stunning and gorgeous as I remember it. While walking around, we were watching your video, serving as a free audio guide tour to learn more about the estate. Despite our busy lives, I guess we're lucky to have estates like this in the country to destress and relax. ❤

[@clivewilliams3661]

And the Duke, Duchess and Dowager Duchess of Devonshire (RIP) are/was some of the nicest people you will ever meet. The Duke and Duchess often meet visitors touring the stately home just for a chat and the Duchess is often found at the famous farm shop. They are both 'hands on' with the running of the estate that has become a highly successful business.

40 hours to reset the table consists of polishing the table to retain its sheen, washing and drying the table cloths and napkins, washing and drying the chairs, clean-polish and replce candles in the candelabras, clean polish each individual piece of cutlery and plates etc, glass, cup goblet clean. After everyone is back in place each piece is studied and inspected.

[@wendyfield7708]

The BBC serialised Pride and Prejudice is by far the best as it is closest to the book, giving full time without missing parts, as a feature film does, of which there have been several versions. I am sure it is obtainable in America now. It is the one with Colin Firth as Mr.Darcy.

[@beverleyrichardsonwhite4730]

Chatsworth House is amazing,we go at least once a year, And always at Christmas. To see the house decorated for Christmas is out of this world

[@laughingoutloud8612]

Your mum is right there with you seeing it Natasha ❤

[@w0033944]

I think it depends on the person. I'm not into visiting these sort of places, but I can appreciate the magnificence.

[@francisalderson4469]

I live 10 miles from Chatsworth House. It’s beautiful place. And not to forget the farm shop. You need to see the house when it is made ready for Christmas

[@leehallam9365]

It's a great place. I stayed at Bakewell and walked there through the countryside. The day before I walked down to Haddon Hall, an older rather wonderful house that was the castle in the film The Princess Bride.

[@janetburrows137]

Chatsworth House has a top, top christmant decorations. It’s stunning. If you can find then you will never forget your experience. If you try and look up this decision, you will nearly know why. Geez, you’ll never forget it. That’s for sure. 🇺🇸🇬🇧🙏❤️💕👍

[@sallyannrowlands1154]

We live up the road . God it's soo beautiful ❤️ you should see it at Christmas...it's all trimmed up inside and out. They usually do theme each year at Christmas such as Dickens as so forth.. they also do Christmas Markets on run up to the festive period with carols outside,it is truly magical ❤we don't take it for granted.. although we do have many Stately Houses ..it's getting to see them all..there's so many, but Chatsworth is up there! We always have a picnic every year at the side of the cascade waterfall...it's so peaceful and relaxing..in season though everyone is in the water. So much fun. ❤People also go fresh water swimming most Sundays in the River at the bottom of the house..❤ most people visit here all the time. It's got restaurants, ice cream parlour.. visitor shop.. Chatsworth farm shop on the Estate where you can buy the produce off the land. It's totally Amazing!

[@maggiehockaday7328]

I love your enthusiasm for our country. Thank you ❤

[@old.not.too.grumpy.]

I live about half an hour from Chatsworth. We often go for walks on the estate, particularly in winter when it's less busy. However, having lived close by for 64 years, I've only ever been round the house and gardens twice😂 It's always best to avoid at weekends and bank holiday also check to see if any events are going off as you may have to pre book. What she missed is the small farm zoo a must-see with children. Just a couple miles is the Chatsworth farm shop, which sells delicious food, most of which is produced on the estate. There is also a cafe that has to have one the most amazing views of any eatery anywhere

[@samstevens7888]

As you how often we visit from the age of 8 when I first got interest in history. My nan would take me all over the country in my summer holidays. To all the stately homes and gardens, museums, places of interest and historic significance. I stopped at about 15 years old. Now 48 years old. I do go to all the places I once visited I pick a couple to visit each year. As I'm now disabled it takes alot more out of me and preparation. I do live in a town that has alot of history Northampton and do travel my county every year through out the year on my good days. I value the history of my whole country so try to visit these places as often as possible.

[@AMB3Rjade]

WOW 😍 This place is so beautiful! Stupid pretty!

[@sharonmartin4036]

My favourite Jane Austin book is "Emma", but I did love "Sense and Sensibility" as well.

[@manyelephants]

I live around 40 minutes drive from Chatsworth. It is beautiful. We are very blessed with wonderful locations to visit in the UK and we can take them for granted.

[@magdahearne497]

Chatsworth is maybe 30 minutes from where I live & it's well worth spending a day there. You may also like Hardwich Hall (one of the homes of Bess of Hardwick mentioned in this video with regards to Mary, Queen of Scots), Hadden Hall (films shot there are The Princess Bride, The Lion the Witch & the Wardrobe & The Lady & the Highwayman to name but a few. Haddon Hall hasn't been touched in centuries, so it's like stepping back into the 1600's) & Keddlestone Hall.... the Peacock dress worn by Lady Curzon when her husband was Viceroy of India, is particularly stunning & worth seeing. All the aforementioned houses are in Derbyshire. Wentworth Castle & Wentworth Woodhouse in South Yorks which is currently being renovated are also worth taking a look at. I love Pride & Prej, Emma, Sense & Sensibility & Persuasion, as well as Elizabeth Gaskell's Cranford & the Barchester Chronicle's by Anthony Trollope. Thanks for sharing your reaction to one of our national treasures ladies. I can honestly say that one never tires of visiting Chatsworth, it's not a place easily forgotten 🌺

[@elizabethchapman9523]

I and my partner visited Chatsworth last year on the eay back from a holiday in Yorkshire. It is impressive, beautiful and stunning from a distance. The interior is amazing and the painted ceilings are beautiful. Even the grounds are beautiful and all set against the hills of the Peak District. The waterfall and lake is situated in such a way, that it looks like the house is floating above the lake. We are so blessed in the UK and especially England, with all these beautiful buildings and the history thst goes with it. We really do not at times appreciate what we have abd and sometimes become quite complacement about our history. We are truly lucky.

[@DianeGraham-od7ow]

I’ve been and met the former Duchess and her son ( now the Duke) There were so friendly towards us peasant Geordies!! The place is unbelievably gorgeous ❤

[@aussiegirl1166]

Such a stunning home would love to see it. Bess Hardwick is one of my distant ancestors, she had a fascinating life.
