Painting by Matthew Cook

Still lived in, by the eleventh Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, Chatsworth in Derbyshire boasts an enormous collection of treasures (paintings, tapestries, carvings, books, furniture, ceramics, glass and textiles), sumptuous interiors and magnificent landscaped gardens. Join in the national pastime of country house visiting and come to gape at the sheer scale of life here - 175 rooms, including 21 kitchens, 53 toilets and at least 1 bedroom no longer used because "itÕs a dayÕs march to the nearest bathroom." See how the other half lives - and cope with only a few servants - and help towards the £1 million a year upkeep of this great stately home!

Start at the bottom of the UK! Visit Britain and stay with Paskins Town House in Brighton on the South Coast.
