The 105 acre garden is a magical landscape, beautiful in all seasons, and it can be visited separately from the house. It has evolved over more than 450 years, and continues to change today. There are five miles of walks with rare trees, shrubs, formal hedges, temples, sculptures old and new, streams and ponds and the new, award-winning garden guidebook suggests trails and routes all around the garden while also explaining its history. Wonderful use of water, an amazing maze and wonderful variety of areas to wander in. The garden contains some of the most famous waterworks in Europe, which have been added to Chatsworth over more than 400 years. Hidden ponds and gentle streams contrast with the noise and play of the Cascade, waterfalls and fountains large and small.
