Chatsworth Farmyard and Adventure Playground Children and adults love the Farmyard, especially the daily milking demonstration. The Farmyard has various breeds of sheep, cattle, horses, pigs, poultry and other livestock on show, with exhibitions demonstrating how the farms and woods on the Chatsworth Estate are managed. The Adventure Playground within the Farm is a haven for children, they can scale the commando net, wriggle along the narrow passages, swing down ropes, and, for toddlers, there is a scaled down version. The playground has its own picnic area as well as a restaurant serving home-made food together with three shops selling gifts chosen by the Duchess of Devonshire. Open daily from the end of March through to the end of September and Bank Holidays. Tel: 01246 5831139.
