Melbourne Culture & Heritage Melbourne is an attractive Georgian market town known for its creative arts and numerous historic buildings clustered around Melbourne Hall and the Market Place, which includes the market cross and shelter.

MELBOURNE HALL & GARDENS A Grade II Georgian country house, Melbourne Hall was once the seat of the Victorian Prime Minister William Lamb, 2nd Viscount Melbourne, and is the origin of the name of the city of Melbourne in Australia. With more than twenty Grade I listed features, the grounds are the best surviving early 18th Century English garden in the manner of le Notre.

The name Melbourne derives from ‘mill on the brook’ and the Hall overlooks the old mill pool known as Melbourne Pool which was picturesquely landscaped for Lord Melbourne.

Church Square, Melbourne, DE73 8EN 01332 862502 info@melbournehall.com www.melbournehall.com

MELBOURNE PARISH CHURCH St Michael with St Mary’s Church is a Grade I listed parish church and existed when the Domesday Book was compiled in 1086.

The current building dates from the early part of the 12th Century and has the feel of a ‘miniature cathedral’.

WALKS AND TRAILS There are a number of walks and trails that explore Melbourne and the surrounding countryside, some of which take in the Calke Estate and National Forest which lie to the south west of the town. Melbourne Footpaths Group often lead guided walks in the local area. www.melbournefootpathsgroup.org.uk

Nearby Melbourne Melbourne is a great base from which to explore the local area, including Swarkestone Causeway, Donington Park, Whistlewood Common, Melbourne Animal Farm, St Wilfrid’s Church at Barrow on Trent and the village of Ticknall.

CALKE ABBEY – NATIONAL TRUST Poised somewhere between gentle neglect and downright dereliction, Calke Abbey, the un-stately home, is unlike any other great country estate. The National Nature Reserve awaits discovery and Calke Explore, an outdoor recreation area, provides the perfect base to begin exploring the wider estate through a network of walking and cycling trails. The walled garden offers moments of reflection, where faded glasshouses and a domed orangery tell the story of a country house in decline, while beds burst with colour and seasonal produce, echoing the history of Calke’s working garden.

In the Pleasure Grounds, discover views over the house and Deer Park, where a herd of red and fallow deer roam freely.

Calke Abbey, Ticknall, Melbourne, DE73 7JF 01332 863822 calkeabbey@nationaltrust.org.uk www.nationaltrust.org.uk/calke-abbey

STAUNTON HAROLD RESERVOIR The perfect place to enjoy outdoor activities including walking, bird watching, fishing and watersports. The National Trust café offers a wide range of delicious homemade food. Overlooking the reservoir are picnic benches and a large play area.
