Calke Abbey (National Trust)

Book now

With peeling paintwork and overgrown courtyards, Calke Abbey tells the story of the dramatic decline of a country house estate. The house and stables are little restored, with many abandoned areas vividly portraying a period in the 20th century when numerous country houses did not survive to tell their story.

Discover the tales of an eccentric family who amassed a vast collection of hidden treasures.  Visit the beautiful, yet faded, walled gardens and explore the orangery, auricula theatre and the kitchen gardens. Escape into the ancient and fragile habitats of Calke Park and its National Nature Reserve.

The brand-new Calke Explore is now also officially open, offering more opportunities to get outdoors and active in Calke Abbey’s inspiring parkland. Find out how you can enjoy this new space, learn about conservation and sustainability, and see the future of Calke Explore by visiting the website
