Near By Attractions

Derbyshire is blessed with many things – and one thing that the county isn't short of is tourist attractions. From the stunning stately homes of Chatsworth, Kedleston Hall and Calke Abbey to theme parks, museums, cable cars and even an aquarium, there is a lot to be discovered

Calke Abbey

Calke Abbey tells the story of the dramatic decline of a country house estate complete with peeling paintwork and overgrown courtyards. The house and stables feature many abandoned areas, vividly portraying a period in the 20th century when many country houses did not survive to tell their story. There are plenty of things to do, including walks around the nature reserve and fun family activities in Squirt's Stable.
