I had recently visited Peak District, and had a chance to have a peek where Duke of Devonshire (I had no clue why he lives there since the area is supposedly Derbyshire) .
A bit about it...
Chatsworth House is a large country house 3½ miles north east of Bakewell in Derbyshire, England, originally built by Bess of Hardwick. It is the seat of the Dukes of Devonshire, whose family name is Cavendish. Chatsworth stands on the left bank of the River Derwent and looks across the river to the low hills that divide the valleys of the Derwent and the Wye. The Park is expansive, and the house is backed by rocky hills covered with bracken and heather. The house contains a unique collection of priceless paintings, furniture, Old Master drawings, neoclassical sculpture and other artefacts. Chatsworth's garden is one of the most famous in England. Chatsworth has been selected as the United Kingdom's favourite country house several times.
And here is some picture.
