Chatsworth House Grounds and Baslow Village.

Sunday 29th June 2025.

We are spending a long weekend at Chatsworth House on an Auto Sleeper Owners Club meet and what a beautiful spot.

There are only 18 vans in a large area so plenty of space around us.

Where we are parked is over a mile from the House so we aren’t in any way bothered by the visitors to the house.

There is a herd of deer grazing opposite us.

There is a short walk across the fields to a rather revolutionary “revolving gate” that is the access to the nearby village of Baslow.

A short walk along the path past a row of attractive cottages led us to Baslow.

In the village there is a cafe and ice cream parlour, Italian restaurant plus two pubs, we had Sunday lunch in the Devonshire Arms. The village is well supplied with buses to the local towns eg Bakewell that all stop at Chatsworth House.

We entered the grounds via a rear gate but even that was rather ornate.
