About This AttractionSuggest an Edit

The ornate gatehouse to what would have been a spectacular abbey is really very striking; the corridors and little rooms are great for exploring and you can learn all about the former residents and their turbulent lives. The children will enjoy the dressing up box with monk clothes in the gate house and exploring the creepy corridors and rooms. Outside there are the ruins of the abbey to explore and wildlife that call the area home to spot, you can take a picnic and enjoy it in the beautiful grounds.
