i went for a beautiful walk around the grounds definitely worth a stop to go and see. Its currently closed at the moment however there is a public path way to walk around and you can still enjoy the sights
You can't get in for a close up look at the moment, but it's a real sight to see from a distance. The picnic site by the car park is beautiful.
As a family we really enjoyed our visit. It's child and dog friendly but dogs are not allowed inside and due to livestock must be kept on a lead. There was a variety of bird species and we could even hear the bats which are being monitored. A very grand place with lots of small corridors to explore and some great interactive exhibits for children and grown ups to experience.
This place is beautiful, a favourite spot for painters and walkers. The best views are from the public walkway behind the Abbey. (Shh) don't tell everyone. The wildlife is brilliant, there are beautiful dragonflies, damsel flies and various birds identifiable from their songs
This English Heritage site is relatively unique in that it not just has the ruins of the Abbey but a more or less intact massive Gatehouse which is extremely impressive. It probably made quite a statement in Medieval times. One thing to note here is that parking can be limited and you cannot park on the road as it is a relatively narrow country road.
Not a lot off it but worth a visit. A nice site with a history to tell. Friendly staff. Part of site is accessed through uneven steps in places, some internal steps don't have handrails. A lovely place none the less. There is a picnic site outside the enterence. Some fabulous stonework on the gatehouse.
