The wanderlust nature at Calke Abbey, National Trust!

Calke Abbey, located in Derbyshire, is a National Trust property unlike any other. Known as the “un-stately home,” it offers a fascinating look at a bygone era, with much of the house preserved in its decline to reflect its unique story. The mansion is a time capsule, showcasing peeling paint, cluttered rooms, and a vast collection of curiosities amassed by the Harpur-Crewe family. From taxidermy to antique furniture, each room tells a story of eccentricity and isolation, offering an unfiltered glimpse into how the family lived. The guided tours provide insightful context, making the experience both engaging and thought-provoking. Outside, the grounds are equally captivating. #holidayseason
