This mid nineteenth century map is from the fourth edition of "Black's Tourist Guide to Derbyshire"^[1] and was drawn and engraved by J. Bartholomew of Edinburgh.

The railway line had been built a few years before. The Guide shows Chatsworth as being 2½ miles from Rowsley Station and 3 miles from Hassop Station^[1]. Visitors could take an omnibus from the station, which met the trains, and would have been charged 6d for the trip to Chatsworth^[2]. Bakewell was 4 miles away, Matlock 10 miles and Buxton 14 miles and excursions were also available from the three towns. The house was described as "a mansion fit for a king" and "as the hour of eleven arrives, there are generally several parties outside the richly gilded gates of wrought iron, waiting for the time of admission^[1]".
