St Benet's Abbey, located deep within the Broads near the confluence of the Rivers Bure and Ant, is the only Norfolk monastery founded during the Anglo-Saxon period that remained in use throughout the Middle Ages. Uniquely, it is the only monastery in England that was not closed down by Henry VIII, with the Bishop of Norwich still serving as the Abbot today.
Renowned for its historical significance and atmospheric surroundings, St Benet's Abbey has been a cherished destination for artists, photographers, and tourists for over 200 years. Visitors can enjoy the scenic beauty of the site, which is accessible by foot or boat, while taking in the remnants of the abbey and the tranquil marshlands that envelop it.
