It doesn’t get finer than this district in the northwest of the county, where four ducal estates are found close together just south of Worksop.
So if grand houses and country gardens are up your alley the Dukeries should be in your plans.
The trouble with Worksop Manor, Clumber House, Thoresby Hall and Welbeck Abbey is picking just one or two to visit, because they all have something to recommend them, whether it’s history full of intrigue or beautiful walled kitchen gardens.
