Calke Abbey narrates the storey of a country manor estate’s catastrophic collapse. The house and stables have been scarcely rebuilt, with many abandoned parts vividly depicting an era in the twentieth century when many country buildings did not live to tell their stories.

Explore the orangery, auricula theatre, and kitchen gardens, as well as the lovely and stunning, yet faded walled gardens. Escape to Calke Park and its National Nature Reserve to explore the old and vulnerable environments.
