Hailes Abbey is a Cistercian abbey, two miles northeast of Winchcombe, Gloucestershire, England. It was founded in 1246 as a daughter establishment of Beaulieu Abbey. The abbey was dissolved by Henry VIII in 1539. Now, little remains of the abbey. There is a museum on the site holding many artifacts from the Abbey. It is a Grade I listed building and has been scheduled as an ancient monument.
The site is owned by the National Trust but financed and managed by English Heritage.

  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.
