Whalley Abbey

Story

Whalley Abbey is a former Cistercian abbey in Whalley, Lancashire, England. After the dissolution of the monasteries, the abbey was largely demolished and a country house was built on the site. In the 20th century the house was modified and it is now the Retreat and Conference House of the Diocese of Blackburn. The ruins of the abbey are recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building, and are a Scheduled Ancient Monument.

Beautiful place on a dry day. No information in the grounds to tell you about the structures, bit disappointed about that. Also very unclear about where to park when you approach the Abbey. Lovely little cafe, no sign of the gift shop. Apart from that a very peaceful place.

One of the many interesting ruined structures resulting from the decision by Henry the Eighth to dissolve the monasteries and break with the Catholic Church of Rome. This particular impressive edifice gives a good insight into the obscene wealth and power enjoyed by the Abbots at the time but nowadays the grounds and gardens offer a peaceful venue for an afternoon's relaxation. Adequate car parking but the opening hours of the visitor centre/cafe seem to be a bit hit and miss though.

Great ruins. Worth a visit. Good to wonder around. Has placards with detailed info.
