The National Trust says that Calke Abbey is still closed for the moment.

With a number of parks and open spaces being made available again after last week's easing of the lockdown by the Government, people have been able to drive to beauty spots and attractions.

But Calke Abbey, a 12 minute drive from Ashby, has not re-opened yet.

A message on the Calke Abbey Website refers to the Derbyshire site but also makes reference to the fact that the National Trust has opened some of its car parks.

The message reads: "We're working hard to welcome you back.

"We've started to reopen some of our car parks in England, but Calke Abbey remains closed for now.

"Safety remains our priority, so we'll reopen more of our places gradually.

"We look forward to welcoming you back soon. Calke Abbey Team."

And on the Calke Abbey website, a message posted on Friday reads: "Sadly, for the time being our pay-for-entry places, including houses and gardens, will need to remain closed, due to the latest government guidance restricting the public's use of outdoor ticketed venues.

"When we get the chance to reopen any pay-for entry places it will be phased and gradual to ensure that we protect any local communities from being overwhelmed.

"In order to maintain social distancing when they reopen, we plan to introduce a pre-booking system.†
