Day Out in Derbyshire

3rd November 2007

It was a pretty but chilly day and we decided to get out of the house and take a drive into the county of Derbyshire and to the town of Chesterfield where the church is with the crooked spire (caused from using unseasoned timbers, when it was built, that have bent over time). It is unusual and interesting. smile

We roamed around the market there as Chesterfield has been a market town since medieval days.

Then we drove to the charming little town of Bakewell, where we watched the ducks, geese & swan on The River Wye for a while and then had lunch at a little bakery-cafe. We each had a pastie filled with beef & veggies. It was the biggest we've ever had, too big. haha! Then I had coffee cake with ice cream for dessert. Don't think Ken got any dessert but I don't feel complete till I have my dessert, UNFORTUNATELY! LOL

We then drove on to The Chatsworth Estate where Chatsworth House is, not too far from Bakewell. Chatsworth House and Estate is one of my very FAVE stately homes that I've seen since I've been in England - it just blows your mind away when you come upon it!!! The surroundings are just breath taking!!! It was a gorgeous fall day and it was just beautiful there.

I wanted to say if you click Next instead of the Slideshow, you have more time to look at the photos, if you want to. Also if you want to see the a photo in FULL size, just click on the particular photo when it comes up, then click Back to go back to the album.
