Very fine house & Gardens.

The original House was built in the early 17th Century. After a fire in 1871, the Cavendish family recruited the most eminent architects and designers of their time, to rebuild Holker in the very latest style. Holker was constructed in neo Elizabethan style from the finest materials. The majority of the paintings and much of the furniture was brought to Holker from Chatsworth House, the family residence in Derbyshire.
