Ancient stone ruins of a large Roman-style building with tall arches and multiple levels, surrounded by grassy fields and trees under a cloudy sky.

Step back nearly 900 years as Mrs PJ and I explore the incredible ruins of Roche Abbey, one of England's most atmospheric hidden historic sites. Founded in 1147 by Cistercian monks seeking a life of peace and solitude, Roche Abbey grew into a thriving community before the Dissolution of the Monasteries under Henry VIII brought its story to a dramatic end.

Discover the dramatic ruins of Roche Abbey from the air, on the ground, and in an interactive 360° panorama. Explore one of England's finest surviving Cistercian monasteries and uncover the stories hidden within its ancient walls.
