When I went to Chatsworth it made me laugh that on the statue of Mr Darcy from the 2005 film there was a small sign saying "please do not kiss"
I was thrown off when you said they were going to fly in on their helicopter; for some reason I imagined these people live in their own little bubble in which it is eternally 1813
"Worrying" sheep means to chase them. Chasing sheep too much can case them to run so hard that they suffer a calcium deficit and fall down. They then need to be treated by a vet with an intravenous calcium infusion until they feel better. If they don't get it, they could die. Overly enthusiastic dogs will sometimes worry sheep to death. Sheep are not the brightest animals on the planet and can be chased into barbed wire fences, trip and hurt themselves while running or just step on each other. Please don't chase sheep or allow your children, companions or pets to chase the sheep either. An intact ram, on the other hand, will stand his ground and could hurt anyone that tries to worry the sheep.
That statue with the veil is absolutely incredible.
Absolutely love your videos (including this one)! Just wanted to mention as a girl from the English countryside, if you come again and see sheep, please, please, please don't try to pet them! The "don't scare the sheep signs" do seem odd, but it's because those fields often have pregnant sheep in there that can miscarry, which as well as being absolutely awful for the sheep is hard financially for the farmer. Also, getting in between an ewe and their lamb can be really traumatic for the ewe. Not trying to be a troll, just to educate others watching this!
Watching this makes me feel so lucky to live about 5 minutes away from Chatsworth! I’ve been going to Chatsworth for as long as I can remember and it is by far my favourite place on earth and go at least once a month. The reason it was very dark when you went was because of the fashion exhibition to preserve the clothing. I’ve just been today and they have reopened it after Christmas and all the scaffolding you will have seen on your trip has been taking down and all the windows have been opened. So lovely. You will certainly have to go back to enjoy the lovely light of it. Also, definitely just subscribed to your channel☺️
Shame on you for bothering those poor sheep .
Okay but ‘Locked in Pemberly’ sounds like an adorable Jane Austen inspired movie😄
As someone is really annoyed by my sister who studies the deer in phoenix park and tourists keep feeding them even though it makes the deer ill and they could trample the humans, she then complains to me about it night and day, when a sign says not to bother animals. Do not bother animals. Please don't bother animals.
Twenty years ago the Duchess would occasionally help out in the gift shop or farm shop or anywhere they were short-staffed. I was friends with people who lived and worked on the estate then and one of my friends had a summer job in the farm shop and worked alongside Her Grace. One visitor heard her name as Grace and started complaining about something, totally unaware of who she was speaking to . . . at one point saying "Somebody should tell the Duke!" Apparently Her Grace said that she would be sure to let him know! My friend at the time was hiding behind the cheese counter doing her best not to laugh.
US tourists to "Old Europe" sometimes get things wrong (like being locked in someone's garden), but one thing they often get right is ENJOYING the places! I just love walking around an historic building and hearing that US family being completely excited about everything. And yes, I'm the sort of guy who loves talking with chatty Americans, so I've ben an impromptu tour guide quite a few times, simply because it's so lovely to chat to people who are genuinely excited about what they're seeing.
I'm very late to the party but after reading about the Bachelor Duke I can totally see Darcy in him. He seemed like a cool and friendly guy but maybe came off a bit snobby to strangers due to his deafness? Also he had a sister named Georgiana :)
Isn't the place just lovely? We love Derbyshire and the whole Chatsworth Estate with the tiny villages are the sweetest.
And Lyme Park which is Pemberly in the '95 BBC production is only ~27 miles NE along the A623/A6 from Chatsworth, and so is easy to visit too, if you are at Chatsworth.
For anyone that has watched ‘The Duchess’ movie with Kiera Knightly based on the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, Chatsworth was their home (or one of their homes) in real life as it is the seat of Duke of Devonshire 😊
On my first trip to the UK (also in May!) we were going to stop by Chatsworth House but I got so sick with the flu that we called it off. So sad I missed it! Definitely something I'm going to do on my next trip to England!
In the Minneapolis Museum of Art, we have a sculpture of a Veiled Lady (I think that actually is the name of the piece) by the same artist. I have spent hours looking at the thing. That guy was very much a specialist, but his sculptures were incredible.
Well that Duke doesn't look bad, he could pass for an alternative Mr. Darcy, but it's Colin Firth and Matthew MacFadyen fault for being so darn perfect as Darcy (L).
My friends and I have been to Chatsworth twice. The first time we went was for my birthday, which is a week before Christmas and it had been snowing so everything looked even more beautiful and all the Christmas trees in the house were fabulous. We then went in the summer and spent more time in the grounds, which are so beautiful. We would go again, but we live on the north-east coast of England and it's a really long drive down to Derbyshire. However, we are lucky that we have some fabulous stately homes near to where we live. We love Castle Howard which was recently seen as the duke's home in Bridgerton and Alnwick Castle, which has been in Harry Potter and loads of other films. My favourite though, is Raby Castle which is an hour's drive away. It's a bit smaller than the others, but it has fabulous gardens and has herds of deer wandering around the grounds, not where the visitors are but you can see them, especially when you stand at the walls surrounding the main house and look out over the estate.
The Sixth Duke of Devonshire William Cavendish actually had a sister named Georgiana Countess of Carlisle which probably was the inspiration for Mr. Darcy's sister Georgiana. ❤
