Black-and-white photograph of a large Gothic abbey ruin surrounded by an historic graveyard. Weathered headstones stand across the grass in the foreground, while the roofless stone structure with tall arched windows dominates the centre of the image. Dramatic clouds fill the sky above, adding a striking and atmospheric quality to the scene.

Are you brave enough this Halloween eve to join us after dark for a tour around the churchyard and abbey where you'll hear some gruesome tales.

Good to know

Please arrive at the abbey shop 5-10 minutes before the tour starts to allow time for ticket checks.
