Lovely walk around the Abbey. Very interesting and informative. You do not have to pay an entrance fee but you will be asked for a donation towards the upkeep ut well worth it.

A very nice Abbey church of the holy Cross dating back to 1038 AD as a Benedictine monastery. It was well worth a visit with only a short walk from the center of Shrewsbury. The volunteers were very helpful, a beautiful place which is well worth a visit if in the area.
