Since its beginning, 'and in all of its roles - as an abbey, a family home, art gallery and attraction - eight centuries of history have been absorbed into the very fabric of a building which is divided into 122 rooms, rambling over 20 different levels and with 265 steps.
It all contributes to a fascinating experience for the 21st century 'pilgrim', who can step inside - and back-in-time - to see what life was like for a 12th century Canon following the strict rule of St Augustine.

It was an austere life, yet they were supported by servants and staff; and by the end of the 15th century, Torre Abbey had become the wealthiest Premonstratensian Abbey in England earning 1.8 million pounds a year.'

If you've had fun on your family day out to Tore Abbey, tell us about it your visit, so other people will know it's a great place to go as well.
