Project

Chatsworth House has been home to the Cavendish family for 16 generations and sits within a vast, historic landscape of gardens, waterworks, sculpture, rock gardens, and mazes.

With visitors exploring across 105 acres, Chatsworth needed clearer signage & wayfinding design to improve orientation and strengthen the garden journey without distracting from the setting.

Solution

ABG Design developed a simple, modular wayfinding and signage design system that sits calmly within the grounds.

Using oak posts and durable resin panels, the signs deliver clear, contemporary messaging that complements rather than competes with the historic backdrop.

Kept deliberately low-level, the consistent sign design guides visitors confidently through the gardens while minimising visual impact on the landscape.
