Last entry 4.30pm. Access to the Abbey Church is through the east processional door. The abbey museum houses many precious artefacts including an ivory comb from the 1100s that shows Hercules slaying a dragon. The towering ruins of this vast abbey complex are testament to the power of both royalty and the medieval church. Founded by David I around 1138, the abbey was linked to a nearby royal castle. Alexander III married Yolande de Dreux here.
Oh what a hidden gem to walk around. It was PS21 to enter as a family of 4. The children loved exploring. Was educational and interesting. There is a few shops local, also a free castle with cells and a house with stuff about Queen Mary, also free. Would recommend
Loved visiting these impressive Abbey ruins. Free parking nearby and reasonable entry fee made it affordable even if you're just a tourist with no heritage pass. What a shame repair work was in progress as we were limited from entering certain areas. Would be amazing inside. Still the outside was worth the visit and there is plenty of information regarding the monks occupation. There are some interesting relics to be seen also. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful in recommending other good tourist attractions to visit
Beautiful abbey ruins. Sadly partly closed off for maintenance (but the fee reflects this). Staff lovely and encouraged us to come in with the dog. Will return when fully open and we next holiday here
The abbey was closed when I visited but still liked the place from outside. Then walking through the town center. Lovely streets with interesting little shops and cafes.
We visited Jedburgh Abbey we stopped off at a nearby cafe for a break on a trip further North into Scotland. The Abbey is beautiful and looking around there ruins was fab. Unfortunately you cannot go into the actual church part of the ruins due to storm damage and safety precautions but you can still see just about everything and the entry fee is half price due to this. It doesn't take too long to look around, we dawdled and spent around 20 minutes and a few minutes looking at the indoor visitor centre. Definitely lovely to go to see though of god in the area.
Beautiful town in the Scottish borders. Some very good local shops and a very peaceful park by the river.
