Chatsworth House

First stop, Chatsworth House!  

From Birmingham, it is a little troublesome to get to Chatsworth House. First, a train ride from Birmingham New Street to Sheffield, since there is a bus from Sheffield which would take me directly to Chatsworth House. 

B6 stand, where I took bus no. 214. Bus ride cost ₤4.80. 

The bus took me directly outside Chatsworth House. 

Little bus stand

 The entrance itself is spectacular and huge

 The Great Dining Room

Next, I headed out to the gardens. One word, Incredible! It was such a beautiful day, everything was so green. If only the grass wasn't wet, I would have just sat there all day.

After the Gardens, I left Chatsworth House to soak in the field outside. I can't believe I could just walked through the field, with cows grazing, sheeps walking pass me like nobody's business. There are even deer's here! It's a view where I thought only exist in picture books.

Even though I had to switch transportations to get here, but I don't regret coming here. View is amazing, the House is spectacular, not to forget, it's where my favourite Pride and Prejudice was filmed ^^. One of the most go places in the UK.

Just a simple direction on how to get here (if taking public transportation):
Bus from Sheffield bus station (No. 214) - ₤4.80 (stops right outside Chatsworth House)
My fee to get in - ₤13 (Student Discount)
Bus from Chatsworth House to Matlock (No. 214) - ₤2 (to head back to Birmingham New Street-where I transit a train from Derby)
