Would love to visit all the mansions, but living in Australia isn't getting me there. Oh well, your tours are the next best thing. Thankyou very much.

Not me I work even at 75. I do wish I could have communicated with the one who was a scientist.

Marrying wisely has been a good strategy for acquiring assets, holding on to them for this long is the challenge.

Well with so much diversity already in place, be it ecological, in array, whatever, I still feel that these estates could be much, much further enriched. With so much available space I was trying throughout to mentally calculate an approximation of their capacity to accommodate our new cultural enrichers.

I visited Chatsworth 1987, i never knew about the other places mentioned. Thanks for sharing this video 👍🏼

Chatsworth, where it is more economical to gild the windows rather than paint them (i.e. the gold will last for 30 - 40 years, they would need to be painted about every 8 years - from a televised tour given by the 11th duke). It's a pity that th Paxton greenhouses are no longer standing at Chatsworth. There are 2 missing homes. Hardwick Hall had to be donated to offset brutal death duties of the duke who died just before the family trust became official. Like all too many city mansions in cities like London, New York, Chicago, etc., Devonshire House was sold to be demolished for new construction.

It's more economical to gild the windows anywhere.😊

Thank you. Very nice tour. Beautiful estates.

It’s a dream to visit Chatsworth! Now I want to visit all 5 of these estates

Amazing Estates and Mansions, it's a wonder how the family retained the wealth and are able to maintain the Mansions, Gardens and Estates 👌

You should a story on the largest stately house,Wentworth Woodhouse with its scandals and oppulent wealth and the downfall of the family and now being given a new lease of life This house screams for a miniseries about it It makes Dowton Abbey looks like 2 bedsit flat compared to its massive size

What a lovely video. Thank you. Have been to Chatsworth back in the days of Duchess Debo.

Visited chatsworth a few times, absolutely love the place. My children have swam in it's river with his grace's permission.

Enjoyed the tour .

Beautiful mansions and palaces. I have not visited these Cavendish properties. I hope to visit one day.

Handy that those heiresses got to marry a Cavendish!

Many years ago I read a romance book based on the life of Bess of Hardwick. Even if only a part of it is true she still was an inspiring woman. A determined woman.

Everybody knows about Chatsworth (where the Cavendish lives), but doesn't know about other country homes who still standing or torn down.

Did I miss mention of Deborah (nee Mitford), Duchess of Devonshire? She was instrumental in putting in place the tourism of Chatworth, and starting the various money flows surrounding that tourism to maintain it. She was the Mitford sister who really did it right. The late duchess really had the aristocratic manner, but was modern in her practicality.

Yeah the "Colen" got me too. I think this is an AI voice.

So, is Hardwick Hall no longer a Cavendish estate?? I know the 6th Duke redecorated IT as well, responsbile for many of the cut-up tapestries that line the stairway, and the current look of the long hall.

I love you so I miss you so One. Love. Ph To GOD be the glory ❤+❤+❤+

Over 60,000 acres...impressive...maybe they should run the country?..

I could use a little loot cousin.

The estate provides jobs for 1000 people locally in an area where there is not much employment. They support local people in many ways, build affordable housing on brown field sites and provide opportunities for apprentices.the estate is run by a charitable trust and the family derive no income, this is all ploughed back into the trust for the preservation of Chatsworth.

Sounds like a movie-

Peregrine is a name reserved solely for the British upper class

What is the name of this authoritative narrator?

Yes. I visited Chatsworth. Looked for famous Gainsborough portrait of Georgiana. Not on view. Nice lady didn't know what I was talking about. Then there were a number of crap portraits commissioned by the present owners by 2nd rate Scottish artists. Struck a sour note. Best thing to be said is that it's incredibly well-organised thanks to Debo and obviously money-making. Everything A1. But why not tax these privileged inheritors on the capital value of their estates? Simple Act of Parliament. I know. I know. Death duties. Inheritance tax... it's all been tried. The revenue could then be used to improve housing for the masses. This would yield BILLIONS! Nobody really needs to live in anything but one modest house or apartment. Not even Lucy Cavendish.

hello Daddy Brethren Cavendish Family and Daughters and All Lady. Bil,,, Whatever happen you know

This family owe the UK tax payer billions in avoided taxes.
