Founded in about 1148, this Augustinian abbey became a private residence after the Reformation, and was severely damaged during the Civil War during a Parliamentarian siege. Despite that, much of the church survives, and is viewable from gallery level. There is also a lavishly sculpted processional door and other cloister buildings. Open daily, 10am-6pm from April to October, and 10am-4pm from November to March. The site is accessed via a kissing gate, which may be unsuitable for visitors using mobility aids or pushchairs. There is uneven ground and low lying walls and features. There is a spiral stairway off the nave which is narrow and dark. There is very limited parking at the Abbey entrance which is only accessible April to mid-October. During the winter park at the gateway entrance and use the pedestrian gate by the road to walk the 250m to the abbey. Nearby Boscobel House and the Royal Oak has a tearoom, shop and toilets. Dogs on leads are welcome. #EnglishHeritage #FamilyPincic We're sorry but <%= htmlWebpackPlugin.options.title %> doesn't work properly without JavaScript enabled. Please enable it to continue.
