During 2011, the external stonework of the house was cleaned, repaired and restored to reverse 300 years of weathering and pollution.
The restoration work is still taking place on some parts of the house, but the South and West fronts now gleam beautifully with clean stonework, new masonry and gold leaf detailing.
You can see read more about some of the work that has been carried out on the Chatsworth blog.
In 2010 the visitor route was transformed by the creation of three new galleries. Dozens of works of art and pieces of furniture were conserved or restored in preparation for sparkling new displays. And a new lift means that every floor of the visitor route is now fully accessible.
