Today we went to Chatsworth House, home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire. And surprise, surprise, it was used to film Pride and Prejudice. It was used for Darcy's house, Pemberley. We were so excited to get pictures of what we've seen in the movie, but sadly, there's scaffolding all over the facade right now. I guess they're doing some touch up. The inside was still great though. It blows my mind that people actually live in places like this! Unlike most of the other places we've toured so far, Chatsworth House also has a few contemporary additions to its historical rooms. For example, the mirror I've shown here.
After touring the house we went out to the gardens. Unlike the gardens we've seen so far, the gardens at Chatsworth are much less meticulous. They're more... flowing. Natural.

| Leslie and I were so confused when we read this sign. After trying to say it a hundred different ways, someone told us it means you have to drive slowly through the gate and honk your horn. Who knew! Hoot! |
