Chatsworth House, Bakewell

The house itself, set in a picturesque park, was originally built in the 16th century and was extensively remodeled in the 17th and 18th centuries. Visitors can tour 26 of the most grand rooms and see a magnificent art collection and, for an extra charge, the rooms Mary Queen of Scots stayed in between 1570 and 1581. Don't miss the beautifully landscaped gardens, which feature a maze and cascading waterfalls. For visiting hours, check the website or call ahead.
