The stately homes of Derbyshire
Chatsworth, Haddon Hall and Hardwick — three of England's greatest country houses, all within twenty miles.
Derbyshire has the highest density of major country houses in England. Chatsworth (the Cavendish seat), Haddon Hall (medieval, virtually unaltered), Hardwick Hall ('more glass than wall'), Kedleston Hall (the finest neoclassical house in Britain), and Calke Abbey (intentionally undisturbed) all sit within a 20-mile radius. A weekend covers Chatsworth and one or two others.
