Calke Abbey is a historic country house located in the Derbyshire countryside. The estate dates back to the 12th century and has been home to several prominent families throughout its history. The house itself is a stunning example of Georgian architecture, with grand rooms and intricate detailing throughout.
One of the most unique features of Calke Abbey is its state of preservation. Rather than being restored to its former glory, the house has been left in a state of "arrested decay" to showcase the effects of time and neglect on a grand estate. Visitors can explore the faded grandeur of the house, with peeling wallpaper, crumbling plasterwork, and faded textiles all adding to the atmosphere.
The estate also boasts extensive gardens and parkland, with miles of walking trails to explore. The gardens feature a walled garden, a kitchen garden, and a stunning orangery, while the parkland is home to a herd of rare-breed cattle and several species of deer.
Throughout the year, Calke Abbey hosts a range of events and activities for visitors of all ages. From guided tours of the house to outdoor theatre performances and craft workshops, there is always something new to discover at this unique and fascinating estate.
