Beautiful, tranquil and calm. OK visited my son in the cemetery but thank God for the walk around the grounds. Very calming and I hope this place remains and not turned into housing land. Shame I couldn't visit the Chapel. The trees are massive too that have been there for years. Good place for photos of nature

O Lord,who for our sake became poor,that we through your poverty might become rich;strengthen all those who, at your call and after your example,have left behind everythingthat they might take up the crossand follow you in the threefold way of poverty,chastity and obedience.through the consecration of their livesand the power of their prayersmay your church be strengthenedto be more perfectly conformed to your image;for you are alive and reign with the Father and the Spirit, one God,now and forever. AMEN

Only allowed to visit the grounds, ordinary visitors not allowed inside the church.Well maintained garden.Free car park.Footways and lawns, more or less flat.Not the most famous Abbey Road.

Went here for a tour and history of the building. An interesting history told by a good speaker who lives there. A quiet and calm place to be.

It's a beautiful and calm church. We went for cycling and it was a really beautiful experience. You can enjoy a nice countryside scenic view.

A Benedictine style of worship and hospitality, ancient but relevant to modern day lifestyles. Hard to describe, you definitely have to come and experience this in order to understand it.Well worth a visit - while it still exists.Not many genuine communities will survive much longer without a wider appreciation of the lifestyle that they seek to provide.

Incredible place. Welcome signs everywhere as you go in. Gardens are beautiful. Abbey is too and if you get the chance chat with a monk or two. So friendly. Anyone is welcome to join them in the abbey for services.No opening times to wonder round the gardens. They are always open. The abbey itself is partially open and if you ring the bell you can go into other areas. There are a few things for sale in the entrance area. Cards etc. And some wood carved items made by the the monks from wood at the abbey.I cannot emphasise enough how truly tranquil this place is!

After my home, my favourite place in the world. Wonderful Benedictine hospitality, delicious food, simple but comfortable rooms, a cozy common room with a wood fire for chilly days, plus plenty of beatiful grounds to wander through between meals and services. The monks are wonderful, and surprisingly funny. Come even for just for a day and you'll have a little bit of Alton Abbey with you fit the rest of your life.
