I enjoyed this guide, as it's a bit out of the ordinary run -- so is the property, for that matter, which has been left more or less as it was when the family yielded it to the trust. The long time owners were first-class British eccentrics, and it gives the whole place a really piquant charm. I'd like to visit this place. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Calke Abbey captured the imagination of the country when its plight was revealed in the 1980s. An almost unknown house and large estate had fallen into such a state of decay that it called for a new, and sometimes controversial, approach to conservation, once the battle to save them for the nation had been won. Calke is unlike any other great house in the way it has been conserved in a state of frozen decay. Its collections contain few outstanding pieces, apart from the extraordinary state bed, but it is the accumulation of books, silver, portraits, clothes, childrens toys and the tidal waves of taxidermy that engulfed some rooms that make the house so remarkable. Long managed as a wildlife sanctuary, Calkes venerable parkland and trees are of such importance for the shelter they give to rare insects and fungi that it is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a National Nature Reserve.
