derbyshire {part one} : castles & manors

9.09.2011



























boy have things been busy over here...today i finally bring you
some photos from our days strolling around the beautiful
peak district & the county of derbyshire. good times indeed.

we spent one morning exploring bolsover castle, which is now in ruins.
i think i prefer a ruined castle...so much left to the imagination.
it is something quite magical indeed.

an entire day was dedicated to exploring chatsworth.
now, let me explain.
i originally wanted to visit this vast estate thinking it was
mr. darcy's (colin firth's) "pemberley" {because that's what google told me...
that's the last time i trust google}
but, this is not mr darcy's pemberley. this is pemberely.
i was glad to see chatsworth, but truly sad we didn't have time to see the real pemberley.
yet another reason i need to return to this country.

update: so it turns out this is pemberley...but in the 2005 version. which i haven't seen since it first came out.
so i guess i won't start cursing google yet {although there are studies showing that google is making us dumber?}

I.too, liked the castles in ruin. Maybe it is the imagination that draws us to them.

Ah-ha! 2005 version. I know everyone will disagree with me, but the 2005/Kiera Knightly version is my least fave, thus least-viewed so I didn't even recognize it. Now I might have to go watch it just to see Chatsworth on screen :)

Hi there! - I've been quite a fan for some time - I love your words - your photographs and what you share.

I'm getting to go to the UK & Ireland for the first time next month and I have to say your posts on your time there are making me so giddy!

such a wonderful blog!

Yes! I recognised those statues from the 2005 version as well. Okay, my jealously is through the roof now. All these photos are just magnificent.
