Good emotive reconstruction of original layout. Information boards excellent. Museum and artefacts extremely well presented. Church attached is fascinating and must not be missed. Estate farm shop short walk away with good local produce and tea rooms offering very good selection of hot and cold food and homemade cakes.

The audio tour was very informative as you explore the ruins of the abbey. The museum within the building is lovely. Don't forget to visit Hailes Church right across the street!
