Crowland Abbey - Peterborough

Andrzej P. (.

I have lived in Spalding for so many years and my recent purchase brought me to Crowland Abbey. I couldn't get inside to listen, learn and appreciate because it was closed, but I will some day. What I have for you, is a bit different view of this beautiful Abbey. It was a lovely day but a bit windy though.

Fantastic abbey/parish Church brought to life by a wonderful guide. Some fantastic stories and info available, with a room that has interactive screens helping you to visualise the changes over the years. The ruins are amazing with the 2nd oldest illustration of halleys comet carved into the south aisle ruin. Entry is free , there is parking on site and certain times of the year (fen days) there is a chance to climb the towers as well.as see the skull of saint/Abbot Theodore. It's Well worth a visit and also do walk into the village and see a very rare bridge.

Very interesting old building. The guide we had was fantastic and very informative.
The visitor information was great with a very useful interactive screen.
I would definitely recommend a visit to the Abbey.

Fascinating church directly connected to the amazing abbey ruins, with well laid out cemetery alongside. Limited parking alongside but worth the visit.

Very kind man/keeper who at closing time, 16.00, still gave me the opportunity to visit the inside of the church. He knows a lot about the history and what happened to this once luxurious Abbey.

If you want good photos outside, go early or very late in the day. The sun will be your friend.

There are a few, think about 10, parking spots, next to this Abbey.

So much history it's amazing! There's a great little learning room with artifacts and in interactive screen that shows you all you need to know.
An nice little play area for children, with books and puzzles!
It was clean and such a refreshing place to be.
Was greeted straight and asked if I needed any help or wanted to know anything, and some small talk.. so 5 star for how welcoming and friendly they were.
It's got a great little selection of things to buy, like Guthlac Scroll 📜 key rings, post cards, even cloths and T shirts!
Very large selection of things to buy considering how little the shop/stalls were!
The ruins are just amazing!
Good little car park for visitors, 2 actually.
All in all, a lovely place to visit for just a few minutes, or make a real trip ofit because there's lots to learn! Sagas, Chronicles, and stories!
I well recommend buying a Guthlac Scroll, a true piece of history to take home!
