Chatsworth February half-term

An amazingly warm day for February - and the only dry one this week - so as Chatsworth farmyard and shops were open we decided to visit.
As we half-expected, the farmyard and play area were very busy but away from there the grounds were quiet and peaceful.
the gardens aren't open yet so we decided to walk up to the Hunting Tower - teenager has never been up there - and along to the Viaduct.
It was even warm enough to sit out in the Stables Courtyard for lunch!
