Reviews
An impressive ruin with very pleasant grounds. Ideal for a picnic after a stroll around the ruins and/or along the river which runs past the site. Free parking available through the Abbey Gatehouse and refreshments available from a cafe located by the entrance to the site. Plenty of benches and picnic tables. But your day will be made the more enjoyable if you visit the beautiful church nearby..The Church of Saint Mary and all Saints. It is magnificent. The ceiling and the carved woodwork is sublime. Three Saxon crosses in the graveyard. Do not fail to visit it. It is cherished by its parishioners. And you can buy homemade jams, pickles etc, made by those same parishioners , on sale inside. Along with lovely crocheted bookmarks.
This is NOT a review for Whalley Abbey East Gatehouse, which is owned by English Heritage - it is instead a review for Whalley Abbey Gardens. There seems to be some confusion. We struggled to find up to date information about Whalley Abbey on line so took a leap of faith and visited early in July 2022. We were so pleased that we did as we had an amazing time. We had coffee and home made scone in the lovely cafe, before spending at least 1.5hours walking around the gardens and ruins. The gardens are beautiful - so well designed, planted and cared for, mostly by volunteers, I think. The ruins are really interesting with information boards where needed. Something I found particularly wonderful were the vistas we were continually treated to, through arches, tree lined avenues, doorways etc. Would not hesitate to recommend and look forward to visiting again soon. The gardens are open 9am - 5pm and cost £3 for adults - less for others.
A beautiful Christian retreat with fantastic staff and masses of history. They also accept bookings from the general public. It is primarily a retreat, so the rooms have no TV and the windows are the original leaded panes, so don't expect the Hilton or even Premier Inn!
Lovely place... Lovely village
I spent a weekend here with elders from my church on a spiritual retreat. Oh we had a lovely time. The place is very lovely and quite for a get away time with God or personal time for reflection. The lodge is great, the rooms a big and there is facility to house families in each room. The staffs are very lovely. I can't say much about the food as we are fasting all through our stay, however the children had nice meals. The area itself provides interesting sights. The foundation of the church and some of the wall are still intact. The onsite cafe is nice and provide souvenirs. It's a place worth visiting for personal time at least once in a year.
really good walk if you are interested in ancient archaeology. you are free to walk around in the grounds even in this lockdown. the cafe is open for takeaway. card payments only due to covid..
Set in the idyllic village of Whalley, with plenty to see and do. Can't comment on the tour of the house as it was closed due to covid. Nice cafe with toilet facilities. Great to stroll around the ruins of the monastery.
Lovely old historic abbey lovely grounds to walk around small cafe for a hot drink great way to spend an hour
A nice walk around the grounds. Interesting information boards too. On site cafe was open, but I didn't use it.
Great little spot to visit, can probably spend about an hour here. It's made up of a Ruined Abbey and Gardens. Little cafe too where I got a very nice sandwiche served by a friendly man!
