There is little left of this abbey other than one building, a pond and a large gable but it is a pretty place to stop especially as you can use the parking to go up to St. Catherine's Chapel on the hill. The site is owned by English Heritage and is free to visit. This is quite an isolated spot now but must have been even more so when the monastery was flourishing (before the Reformation).

Very atmospheric and interesting place. It looks like everything is old. It's a pity that a lot has been destroyed. There is a cafe on the territory, although it is closed in winter. The place is worth visiting.

We’ll preserved ancient building with sitting views over the countryside. Abbot is open allowing you to view the inside ad well Worth a look if you’re in the area.

A beautiful place , we visited at 8,30 in the morning, it was peaceful and enchanting, however we were suprised to find zero information boards with history of the ruins, thankfully Google and Wikipedia assisted. As suspected it was Henry the 8th that was responsible for the downfall of the monastary . The barn is beautiful, the largest thatched...

Sadly little to see here. Little in the way of ruins to see or explore, and sadly the craft shops were either closed or out of business (perhaps this will be better in the summer). The tithe barn was closed, and nothing indicated if it is ever...
