Calke Abbey lovely walks around the woods

Calke Abbey is a must visit site for anyone interested in ancient trees. The 1,000 year old Old Man of Calke may be the oldest, but there’s an 800 year old oak just a few metres away. The parkland is full of countless ancient and veteran trees rich in deadwood habitat, which is anything but dead as it’s brimming with saproxylic life.

Following the planting of 300,000 native broadleaf trees from 2012-2015, QEDJW is now flourishing into a beautiful young woodland made up of oak, field maple, silver birch, beech and hornbeam, to name just a few. Bluebell and wood anemone light up the forest floor in the ancient woodland areas in springtime, and at the lake you’ll find vegetation including bull rush and yellow iris.

A nice place for a walk in the sunshine

Anchor Church caves are found in a Sandstone outcrop, close to Ingleby. The naturally formed caves have been extended by to form a dwelling (likely a hermitage around the 8th/9th century), complete with door and window holes. In more recent history (1840's) the owners of Foremarke Hall undertook some additional enhancements so they could use the caves as a summerhouse and picnic spot.

A true natural landmark for the area, situated in one of the quieter areas of Calke.

This ancient Oak is thought to be around 1000-1200 years old! If you want to take a cool photo, go into the field behind the tree - you’ll get a much better picture!
