You may already know that I'm a HUGE Jane Austen fan....so it surprised exactly NO ONE when I told my family I wanted to visit both locations of "Pemberly" from the 1995 and 2005 Pride & Prejudice filming locations.
We visited Chatsworth House here (the house that doubles as Pemberly in the 2005 Kiera Knightly film), and it truly took my breath away!
A few days later, we decided to visit Lyme Park and its famous lake where Colin Firth jumped in as Mr. Darcy! And it was equally as dreamy...
It's no secret I absolutely adore Jane Austen. I've read all her books, I've watched all the movies, I've visited the Jane Austen museum in Bath...and now I'm working on hitting up all the filming sites for her movies haha!
So when we planned to take our kids to England to visit friends this past summer, I knew Chatsworth House would be on the itinerary. We actually went to Chatsworth House in 2018, but it was in the middle of winter and literally the coldest day of our entire trip! I had big dreams for a "re-do" with visions of a summer picnic on the sumptuous grounds...but alas...even England in August was rainy!
But...it still was a beautiful day because...come on...how can anyone not be totally and completely bewitched by this gorgeous house that doubled as Pemberly in the 2005 Pride & Prejudice with Kiera Knightley? A few of my favorite things from the day....
