Chatsworth House has launched a fundraising campaign to help pay for the restoration of its centuries-old cascade. Richard Fidler visited the Peak District estate to find out more about the £7.5m project.
For more than 300 years water has flowed down Chatsworth House’s iconic cascade to the delight of visitors, staff, and indeed, many of the 16 generations of the Devonshire family who have called this world famous estate in the heart of the Peak District, home. It has provided the backdrop to picnics, family parties, impromptu gatherings and also cooled the feet of many a small child during hot summer days of exploring the gardens and grounds.
He said he is under no illusions as to the importance of the project: “The cascade is one of the three features in the garden that are incredibly popular. There’s the maze – because who doesn’t like a maze – the rockery, but we know from all the data we’ve got that the cascade really appeals to lots of visitors. “The restoration is a major project and it is of national significance because the amount of features like that left in the country are tiny.
