Calke Abbey is a unique National Trust property, often called the ‘unstately’ stately home. Unlike traditional country estates, it offers a fascinating glimpse into a house left largely untouched by time. With peeling paintwork, overgrown courtyards, and unrestored rooms, Calke Abbey vividly tells the story of the dramatic decline of a once-grand estate. Visitors can explore its intriguing collections, atmospheric stables, and vast parkland teeming with wildlife. The surrounding gardens and scenic walking trails provide the perfect setting to experience the beauty and history of this remarkable place.
