Calke Abbey

A trip to Calke Abbey was in store today. Still aching from the 6 mile walk yesterday I sort of wished that I has for a less arduous day. Something like watching TV or sleeping, but it is what it is, a near 2 hour drive and a huge walk, because once you go somewhere you have to do it all.

You have to go around the house, but if you're not into stuffed animals then you're best to avoid as there are a lot of them.

As you go higher in the house the degradation increases and I think that's intentional by the National Trust to show how they have improved the house. So in that way it's nothing like any other house I have ever seen.
