It starts as you follow the trail of trees down the drive… Snap a selfie with the Christmas tree in the courtyard and visit the bird hide to see which winter birds you can see on your way down to the abbey.
Pick up an audio guide from admissions, immerse yourself in the life of the monks in Porter’s Lodge or join an abbey tour on weekends to learn all about the dramatic history of these ruins and the monks who searched for a simpler life.
