Hiking

The Hunting Tower stands on the escarpment 400 feet (122 m) above Chatsworth House, on the edge of Stand Wood. Complete with old cannons facing the gorgeous view, it's a great place to stop for a moment. The tower was completed around 1582 for Bess of Hardwick, ancestress of the Dukes of Devonshire. These days, you can rent the Hunting Tower for overnight stays.

Hiking

An impressive building, but a very steep climb down slippery steps to the path below.
