The Bell Tower is still standing and is quite a beautiful old building. Sadly, the abbey itself is just ruins now. There are many plaques around to tell what each area is believed to have been. You can only visit Cambuskenneth Abbey between April and September. Whilst it would be far more pleasant to visit on a bright sunny day, we still enjoyed walking around in the light rain we had the day we went there.

Beautiful medieval structure! I wasn’t aware of the season schedule for visits, so it was closed. It’s open since April through September. It’s very impressive on the outside and I can’t wait to come back when it’s open for visits to see see the inside. You can see the tower since several locations in Stirling. There bell tower and the west door to the church are part of the original structure.

A well restored tower in a lovely quiet site and surroundings. There's also a small graveyard as well as the main grave site restored some years ago. No real parking area though you can park on the grass nearby. Not very accessible by wheelchair, pushchair would be ok though. If you are dropping by then it's worth a look, especiaally good for a quiet picnic in the sun.

You can park on the street very close to the abbey, there is a road passing by it but this is for access to the farm and farmhouse

There is no parking spaces inside the gates

The bell tower is very well preserved and can be viewed from the inside, although to my understanding the upstairs of the bell tower is only accessible occasionally and there is little to no information as for when those occasions are, so do not always expect the upstairs to be open

The graveyard is also closed at the moment due to unstable headstones

You can walk passed the abbey and to the shore of the river forth where there is lovely views of the surrounding area and the remnants of an old dovecot, but this too is fenced off due to risk of falling masonry

Hidden gem in Stirling. Full of history in a beautiful setting at the river forth. Castle is in sight in one direction and the Wallace monument in another. Shame the bell tower hasn't being restored, I understand you've not been able to climb the steps for over 60 years or thereabouts, the views over the surrounding areas must be fantastic. Definitely worth a visit especially as it is free! I went down after closing time and the gate was unlocked, not sure if this is normal but there were other visitors in the graveyard area so...

Looked interesting. was locked up despite saying it was open on line. Contacted Historic Scotland and informed them of issue. Receved a prompt response. Re visited site 2 days later and gate was unlocked and was able to visit the site. Tower was amazing and well preserved, lots of informative signs. There is also a Memorial gifted by Queen Victoria to commemorate her distant relative King James 111 of Scotland and his wife who are interned...
