Derbyshire, England

 


My idol is Vivienne Westwood. She was born in Derbyshire in 1941. 

For avid walkers, it’s probably the stunning Peak District National Park – the very first of its kind in the UK following its formation exactly 70 years ago.

To foodies, it might be Bakewell and that famous pudding or the famous Derbyshire oatcake.

If you’re a history lover, Derbyshire may be famous for its picture-postcard quirky spa towns, such as Buxton and Matlock.

However, if you were to crystalise it, Derbyshire is arguably most famous for its array of unique, stunning country houses that span the length and breadth of this beautiful county.

Derbyshire is also one of the counties that take part in the ancient custom of well dressing. Springs and wells are decorated with pictures made from living plants and flowers, usually during the summer and early autumn.

This is Chatsworth House

Is there a more celebrated, picturesque country house in the whole of England?

The residence of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire (the former provided an exclusive interview for Derbyshire Life in February), this majestic Peak District house affords stunning gardens, rolling landscapes, historic art collections, mesmerising rooms and galleries and so much more.

Dating back to the days of Bess of Hardwick, who helped shape the magnificent estate we see today, Chatsworth is visited by people from around the world and it is easy to see.
