Chatsworth House is like something from a period drama. In fact, it was the filming location for Mr Darcy’s Pemberley home in the BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. Standing proudly amid rolling hills with the River Derwent meandering gently by, it is a stunning sight. The 17th-century house contains works of art that span 4,000 years. The 105-acre garden, designed by Joseph Paxton, is equally famous. With historic waterworks, sculptures, a Victorian rock garden, a maze, plus more, there is a lot to explore.

Some appalling driving along this otherwise beautiful route. Watch out, ride with a buddy, and be safe. Won't be riding there again unless in off-season, just too risky imo! Genuinely worse than the A6 in terms of bad behaviour.

First, when on the climb as if you're going towards the house, I got honked at by someone who passed extremely close.

Second, when on the descent towards the turning towards the house (going 50kph+), someone very aggressively and closely overtook, and 50 metres later turned off, onto a corner with limited visibility into the drive of the house! Someone was in a rush to relive their Pride and Prejudice days. Methinks Mr Darcy doth drive too much like a plonker.

Worth seeing but be aware.

Great views of the house from the road that runs through the estate. It can get very busy with traffic during the summer weekends though
