Beautiful Abbey in stunning surroundings, very interesting visit
A portion of the once great Cistercian abbey at Abbey Dore. Which fell at the dissolution of the monasteries. The church has preserved some examples of bosses etc so very worth a visit.
Beautiful old Abbey in the small village of Dore, Herefordshire. Seating picnic area at the rear of the Abbey to take time to relax and contemplate.
A beautiful old monastery in the Welsh marshes that has lost the nave to time
Interesting building with many changes and additions through time. What a shame that the main entrance is only accessible by foot from a long distance across private land. There is no obvious parking anywhere for visitors who have travelled to explore the history and beauty of this Abbey.
We visited for a music recital. The building is very interesting with lots of interesting things to see within the Abbey.
