Motorhome Travels

April showers in Chatsworth

On April fools day we headed of to the Peak District to stay at the Caravan and Motorhome Site on the Chatsworth Estate to start our adventures for 2019. We had a lovely walk into the nearby village of Baslow where the daffodils put on a beautiful show. On a very chilly Wednesday we set off to the Crich Tramway Museum. They had an amazing collection of trams from over the globe ( although Ruby wasn’t awfully keen on the tram ride!) stopping later at the recommended Chatsworth farm shop to replenish supplies whilst it snowed!! Our last full day was spent at Chatsworth. We spent the morning walking around the beautiful grounds and after the most expensive sandwich and cup of tea we can remember Peter went to visit the house whilst Ruby and Sue settled down in the van for a nice rest. ( Sue had been to the house before.) After a detour via Hull ( where Sue attended the funeral of a close friends mum) we headed off to the Lincolnshire Wolds where we stayed at a very bizarre Britstop pub but had the best fish and chips ever! We drove home via the Lincolnshire coast..to which I don’t think we will be returning in a hurry!
