Situated near Melbourne, Calke Abbey tells the story of the dramatic decline of a country house estate. The house where time stopped in the 1920’s – the house which slipped from finery to faded glory has been renovated by The National Trust.

Collections of birds, ornaments, paintings and family photographs captured in time.

See the Chinese Silk bed kept in a box until 1985, explore the three walled gardens with their glasshouses and see the restored orangery.

Enjoy wonderful walks around the renovated lakes & deer park.
