What time of year did you go to see the Dahlias? I love displays and I was lucky enough to see the ones at Cragside last September and Chartwell last October.

I would love to see it without. Amazing grounds too, last year we went late on and the dahlias were unbelievable :) Last time we went, it was being renovated so covered in scaffolding.

In Bess' case her grand daughter was in line to the throne so I should imagine that had something to do with it initially. Whilst Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned she spent some of her time at Chatsworth. A lot of it probably was for show and a display of wealth.

I really enjoy visiting them and learning some of the history and how they interconnect with each other. I am glad you are enjoying them.

The cost to build them - and why? For show presumably because no-one needs that big a house, do they? Lovely photos. Someone else I know has recently been to Chatsworth and their photos made me want to visit too. These places just astound me: they’re so big! The cost to build them – and why?

But I didn't know she was connected with Chatsworth. Bess of Hardwick was a fascinating character, wasn’t she? But I didn’t know she was connected with Chatsworth.
