If you have to use a picture to explain the English countryside, then Chatsworth House meets all the aspirations!

Chatsworth House, better known as Darcy House, is the home of Mr. Darcy, the setting for the film Pride and Prejudice. It is actually the mansion of the hereditary Duke of Devonshire (Dukes of Devonshire), located in Derbyshire, England, in the North of England Peak District National Park, half an hour's drive from Sheffield.

It has belonged to the Cavendish family since 1549, and is now inherited by the 12th Duke of Devonshire, and is also known as "Darcy House" because it was used as Mr. Darcy's residence in the film Pride and Prejudice.

📹 Tour route

In the meadows and forests around the manor, countless sheep Shaun are herded here, grazing leisurely and hanging out here. The scenes in the movie float up in front of the eyes every minute, full of story sense.

Feeling the healing green world, enter the Great Hall of the HOUSE, the scene of Pride and Prejudice in front of Elizabeth's first arrival, the uncle, aunt and Mr. Darcy's housekeeper on the stairs to meet her. Leading to the second floor is the royal room prepared by the Lord of the manor for the reception of the king and Queen, displaying a variety of grand collection of artworks and decorations, as well as the reception room, the concert hall and so on.

There is a Christmas light festival in the manor, which starts at 4 PM and ends at 6 PM. There are light displays in mazes, rockeries, roads along the way and walls of the manor, which are colorful, but the music is a little hard to appreciate.

It took more than four centuries and 12 generations of Dukes to build and maintain the manor to what it is today, with a rich collection of master paintings, neoclassical sculptures and precious manuscript documents. Moving around the estate, finding and marveling at the beauty of each place.

Chatsworth House has witnessed the rise and fall of families, the history and changes of British society, and has also hosted many famous people to visit, Thomas Hobbes, Charles Dickens, Queen Victoria and so on.

Favorite evening! There will be actors dressed in Pride and prejudice movies, to chat with tourists and take photos - full of British accents, playing their own characters, very interesting.
