Gardens at Calke Abbey were laid out by Sir Harry Harpur and his son between 1770 & 1820. 
The formal garden has good bedding, herbaceous borders and Kitchen Garden provides a wide range of fruit and vegetables.
In the walled garden there is the only surviving Auricula theatre,  which was built to display these beautiful plants.
