Buildwas Abbey

Such a beautiful place to visit. Entry is free, parking is only £2 if you are not a national trust member. Reading the history of this place on the boards dotted around was so interesting and to walk inside the rooms that monks once resided in hundreds of years ago, was such a surreal experience. If you are nearby, it is a must see.

One of English Heritages free sites, although there is a charge for non-members to park. There is a second-hand book shop with staff on hand. A fair bit to explore with information boards dotted around. A guidebook is avadible from Wenlock …

A nice stop off, a decent wander around the ruins with information boards dotted around. A section is fenced off for safety reasons, but still plenty to see. The Chapter House ceiling is incredibly well preserved. Small car park.
