Family reunions and celebrations are generally hosted at home. But why not switch things up and do them at the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire’s place in the Yorkshire Dales?
Now, after more than 300 years of hosting only the likes of friends and family (and, back in 2005, Queen Elizabeth), the Cavendish family is opening their 12-bedroom hunting lodge on the 28,000-acre Bolton Abbey estate, located an hour’s drive northwest from Leeds, to the masses. They have some experience in this area: the Duke of Devonshire’s family seat, Chatsworth House, in Derbyshire, was among the first of these country piles to open up to tourists, offering everything from tours to branded merchandise.
