Chatsworth is located in the Peak District of Derbyshire, England. Chatsworth gardens and the house have been in the Cavendish family since the year 1527. The gardens consist of 100 acres and 5 miles of paths. Most of the house and the garden is open to the public to explore. Much of the Garden bears the imprint of Capability Brown, but some formal features, such as the Cascade, survive.
The south lawn that leads to the house contains the Sea-horse Fountain.
This is a picture of the Cascade. Water supplied by natural pressure sprays out of the sculptures in the temple. The water then flows down the 24 groups of steps.
This is the Grotto pond with Rhododendron species blooming. The pond is an ancient fishery that houses lots of wildlife.
This is the maze in the old conservatory garden. The maze seems to be small and easy but when walking through it you can easily get lost!
The picture above are beeches lined to make the Serpentine Hedge. This curvy hedge leads to the bust of the 6 th Duke of Devonshire.
In this picture Rob, Dave, Kim, Dr.Knee, and Heidi are standing underneath the willow tree fountain.
This picture shows a pathway lined with beeches leading to Blanche's Vase.
In the late 1700's Lancelot 'Capability' Brown was asked to redesign the garden and the park to emphasize the spirit of the new 'landscape' movement.
