This special event will consist of a tour of the village of Edensor and its surroundings led by noted local author and longtime Edensor resident Christine Robinson, former head housekeeper for the 12th Duke of Devonshire at Chatsworth House.
Alongside her husband Clive, Christine will guide you on a gentle stroll around this historic Peak District village on the Chatsworth Estate, which they have called home for over 40 years.
The walk will take you around the remains of the 'old village' and Teapot Row, the Chatsworth Estate Office and the twisting paths and lanes of the main village before finishing at the Grade I listed Church of St. Peter.
Along the way, Christine and Clive will share their extensive knowledge of the history and heritage of Edensor, its residents and the wider Estate with you, including aspects of their family history and many titbits that you won't find in a guidebook!
