We have been to this place on and off for years. They've removed entry charges now and I really miss the little shop for an ice cream and the toilet. Not much left to explore but lovely scenery to walk and play around.

Lovely ruins. Entrance is free and there's parking nearby.

Beautiful ruined priory by the river.
