Muchelney Abbey Ruins

Highlight • Historical Site

Owned by English Heritage, Muchelney Abbey lies in ruins with its extraordinary footprint still very clearly visible. While the main abbey buildings were destroyed by Henry VIII in the 16th century, the abbot’s house still stands and is in excellent condition.

With stone carvings, stained-glass windows and breathtaking architecture, visiting is absolutely worth the time. The abbey also lies just off the River Parrett Trail and if you want more history, you can visit the nearby Priest’s House too, owned by the National Trust.

The Priest's House (National Trust)

Highlight • Monument

Owned and managed by the National Trust, this gorgeous old house dates back to the early 14th century. It was the home of the parish priest and built by the nearby abbey. For a while, it was used as a school before falling into a state of disrepair and used as storage.

Made from local stone, it is open to the public to some extent and is well worth visiting, if only for its fabulous door.
