Calke Abbey - the un-stately home.

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.

A mistake was made and a free day was left in my diary, so I took the opportunity to head over to Calke Abbey for a few hours. This is probably my favourite National Trust location, and well worth a visit if you've never been there. Expect a minor flood of images from here since I haven't had chance to go out anywhere else with the camera for a while.
