History
Designed in 1583 by Elizabethan architect Robert Smythson, The Hunting Tower was originally built for Bess of Hardwick, who created Chatsworth in 1552. It is thought the tower was used as a banqueting space or summerhouse, offering guests a unique vantage point from which to observe the estate’s contrasting moorland and parkland landscapes.
