    aboutSectionText

    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 powerful stories of a 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.

    Calke abby

    Started off badly but ended well. I tried to use my powered chair but it wasn’t suitable so ended up using there vehicles called tramppers. It was great fun but some parts had steps. The tramper was like a motorbike cross scooter. Easy to use. Training was given.
