What it’s like
Free ruined priory and manor grounds to explore, though you do need to book your visit ahead.
This is a ruined priory set beside a manor house, and entry itself is free. The catch is that you need to book your visit in advance rather than just turning up, so it's worth sorting tickets before you set off rather than assuming you can walk straight in.
Under-fives go in without needing a paid ticket, though the site says you can still book them a free infant ticket so everyone's accounted for. Anyone aged 5 to 17 needs a proper child ticket booked alongside the adults. There's nothing here in the way of play equipment or activities laid on, it's the ruins and grounds themselves that are the point.
Parking is free but it's a short walk from the site itself, about 400 metres, with 20 to 25 spaces available. There are two disabled parking bays closer to the entrance, and the grounds are wheelchair accessible, though the gravel paths inside can be tough going for wheelchairs or buggies.
