  The abbey is set in a valley landscaped by 'Capability' Brown in the 18th century. It is a Site of Special Scientific Interest: there is plenty of wildlife and four waterfalls. A stream runs through the site. We are very popular with walkers and passers by as there is a public footpath with runs alongside and round the abbey. Find out more.
