Manchester to Chatsworth and Peak District Tour

Enjoy a full day tour from Manchester to Chatsworth House.

Nestled in the heart of the Peak District National Park is the impressive and art-filled Chatsworth House just waiting to be explored.

Time to lose yourself to history. To art. To beauty. Renowned for its art, landscape, and hospitality, Chatsworth House is a collection of passion. Chatsworth is home to works of art that span 4,000 years, from Rembrandt to Egyptian sculpture. There are over 25 rooms to explore. Which will you choose first? And don’t forget to look up and around you. You will be surrounded by one of England’s most beautiful regions, the Peak District National Park. It will be one of those days where you expect to wake up from your dream at any moment.

Itinerary

You will enter one of Britain’s most famously beautiful regions. The Peak District National Park is rich in limestone, moorland plateaus, iconic villages, and… harrowing stories of murder and death. From the Christmas Eve murder in Hassop in 1866 to the Legend of Lovers Leap, it makes one wonder… is there something in the water?

Our first stop is in the lovely spa town of Buxton. Walking among the ornamental gardens and world-famous Georgian and Victorian architecture, you’ll come away from this vibrant town refreshed and inspired… and ready for more. We’ll make some other stops along the way but we leave that up to your driver-guide who will take into account the weather and interests of the group.

And in the early afternoon we reach the impressive Chatsworth House.

You’ll have several hours here to explore. What you do and see is up to you. Maybe you’ll take in the beauty of the estate’s gardens? Maybe you simply can’t miss the collection of masterpieces inside, artworks from Rembrandt, Reynolds, Veronese. Maybe the kids are begging you to head straight for the farmyard and playground, because who doesn’t love cows and a zip line? You’ll need to refuel after taking it all in. There are plenty of places at the estate to stop for a treat, whether you just need a quick bite or a full meal.

Leaving Chatsworth House, don’t fret, because we’ll make the return journey to Manchester an interesting one, stopping at some viewpoints along the way. You arrive back in Manchester in the early evening.
