About the tour
Join an expert from our landscape team on a walking tour of Stand wood, exploring the historic waterways which feed the Chatsworth Estate. The tour will guide visitors to the lakes at the top of the Stand Wood, before following a trail through the historic woodland discovering the water courses and human interventions that are dotted throughout.
This tour will offer plenty of opportunity to speak to our landscape team and ask questions about the historic water courses and how they are managed, and Stand Wood and its importance to the Chatsworth Estate.

A Celebrating the Cascade event
Our new Celebrating the Cascade wellness sessions have been designed to delight and inspire you. We invite you to enjoy the calm and beauty of nature in the garden and wider landscape. Find balance as you step away from daily routines and pause with us by still and flowing waters. We invite you to open your heart and mind to the environment and connect with our wonderful surroundings.
The Celebrating the Cascade project is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery Players, the project is working to restore the Cascade, safeguarding it for the enjoyment of future generations and enabling more people to get involved with Chatsworth.
