Calke Double Gate

Highlight • Trail

The double gate is so cute, and it lets you pass through a field that is usually populated by the Calke long horn cattle.

St Giles' Church, Calke

Highlight • Religious Site

St Giles was the parish church of Calke from 1160 until 1834. It is now a private manorial chapel, owned by the National Trust along with Calke Abbey, yet it is still a consecrated church, so it can still hold marriages and sermons.

The church you enter now is the nave of the medieval church that until its first restoration in 1570s had a chancel, tower and spire, also possibly a south aisle. The church was reduced in size during the restoration by Roger and Richard Wensley, owners of Calke 1573 to 1585, they removed the tower, chancel and built a solid brick wall at the east end and a small wooden bell cot on top of the nave at the east end, also replace the window windows with small square ones.

View of Staunton Harold Reservoir

Highlight • Viewpoint

It's a great time of year to explore Calke Abbey, a nice route from the circular car park. Of course, the fields will ensure your boots stay muddy, but it is great fun nevertheless and not so busy this time of year. It feels like you have the whole area to yourself at times!
