Chatsworth
Derbyshire ducal estate
Chatsworth is a stately home in Derbyshire, England, seat of the Duke of Devonshire and one of Britain's grandest country houses.
The name also refers to various places named after it, including neighborhoods in Los Angeles and cities in Georgia and Illinois.
We toured Chatsworth on our trip through the Peak District.
