Back in February I took a day trip to the Chatsworth House in Derbyshire. It was about an hour away by bus. I went with my flatmate Cory and her friend from home who is studying in Newcastle this semester and was visiting Sheffield for the weekend. We woke up early with hopes of heading out to the Peak District. None of us were too sure as to where to go so we asked the info booth at the Interchange and they gave us a list of places that we could go and which buses to take to each location. Seeing the Chatsworth House we vaguely remembered the name and headed on our way. Once we got there we were dismayed to find out that the house was closed for the winter and we were unable to go inside. However, we were still able to walk around outside and through what had been the stable. Unfortunately, it was also raining so the grounds were muddy so we weren't able to explore as much as we would have liked.
For those who don't know the Chatsworth House was used for scenes in Pride and Prejudice and the Dutchess. It was where the shot the outside of Pemberley, Mr. Darcy's home. Chatsworth House itself was also mentioned in the movie.
