Visit the remarkable historical site of Forde Abbey and its gardens located in the Southwest of England. Forde Abbey dates back almost 900 years and is now the home of the Roper family.
Explore the estate at your own pace and soak in the beauty of its gardens, including the 30 acres of beautifully maintained plantings with some of the oldest trees in the UK. Forde Abbey is also home to the highest-powered fountain in the country -- a technical marvel and a must-see. This serene environment is a perfect haven for local wildlife.
Learn about the abbey itself and its transformation over the centuries during a guided indoor tour. Step into the gift shop for souvenirs.
Please note: Wear sturdy non-skid walking shoes. Terrain includes even and uneven surfaces, cobblestones, inclines, gravel, grass, and steps.
