Parking is free for blue badge holders and pre-booked coaches.

Arriving by Bus
There will be a temporary road closure on B6012 CHATSWORTH ROAD, ROWSLEY from 11 March - 22 March 2013 between 9.30am - 4pm and 6pm - 11pm. This means that during these times, the bus service to Chatsworth will unfortunately not be running.
There is an increasingly good bus service to Chatsworth and Baslow village.
The buses to Chatsworth stop outside the house and are a short walk from the house, garden and farmyard entrances.
Passengers arriving into Baslow village are able to access the park via a public footpath located opposite the Wheatsheaf Hotel. It is then a pleasant 2km walk to the House and attractions from here.
