Now managed by English Herritage This 800 year old, abbey in Somerset housed a community of Cistercian monks for almost 350 years.  Home to 28 monks. The whole monastery was complete by the late 13th CENTURY,  200 years later the monks lavished funds on renovating the cloister buildings and creating a magnificent new dining hall.

After the abbey’s suppression in 1536 the church was destroyed, but the cloister survived fairy intact today.

A place for quiet and reflection.
