Roche Abbey

Highlight • Historical Site

Beautifully set in a valley landscaped by ‘Capability’ Brown in the 18th Century, Roche Abbey was once home to 50 monks and 100 lay brothers.
Despite the monastry being supressed in 1538, and most of the buildings dismantled, the soaring early Gothic transepts of this Cistercian monastery still survive to their original height and are ranked in importance with the finest early Gothic architecture in Britain. The ruins are now also the centrepiece of a beautifully designed landscape
