The Hunting Tower stands on the escarpment 400 feet (122 m) above Chatsworth House, on the edge of Stand Wood. Complete with old cannons facing the gorgeous view, it's a great place to stop for a moment. The tower was completed around 1582 for Bess of Hardwick, ancestress of the Dukes of Devonshire. These days, you can rent the Hunting Tower for overnight stays.

An impressive building, but a very steep climb down slippery steps to the path below.

A very impressive building, visible from miles around and giving amazing views down the valley over the deer park.
