British Pullman day trip from London to Chatsworth House
Belmond's British Pullman train runs this single-day trip from London Victoria to Chatsworth House in Derbyshire's Peak District, traveling in restored 1920s Art Deco carriages. A welcome Bellini and a three-course brunch are served as the train heads to Chesterfield, where a private coach transfers travelers to Chatsworth, home to the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, passed down through 16 generations of the Cavendish family. Free time is given to explore the house, including the Painted Hall, State Dining Room, and Sculpture Gallery, along with the Victorian Rock Garden and grounds. Travelers then return to the train for a five-course dinner with wine chosen by the sommelier on the way back to London. This suits travelers with an interest in historic houses and art collections who want a fully staffed day out combining vintage rail travel with fine dining.
What to know before you look closer
- Once at Chatsworth House, exploring the rooms and grounds is free time rather than a guided tour.
