Dore Abbey

A portion of the once great Cistercian abbey at Abbey Dore. Which fell at the dissolution of the monasteries.

The church has preserved some examples of bosses etc so very worth a visit.

A beautiful old monastery in the Welsh marshes that has lost the nave to time

Beautiful old Abbey in the small village of Dore, Herefordshire. Seating picnic area at the rear of the Abbey to take time to relax and contemplate.

We visited for a music recital. The building is very interesting with lots of interesting things to see within the Abbey.

What a majestic building. Absolutely beautiful and in a very tranquil setting. The inside of this Abbey is just divine and has some great information about the history behind it.
The Abbey felt very peaceful and respectful of my own personal grief. How lucky we are to be able to enjoy places like this for donation only.

Lovely and quiet, but more history available would be fantastic. Very friendly piggies outside 🙂

A beautiful peaceful place to visit. Fabulous stained glass and some interesting stone carvings

An astonishing, almost overwhelming, sense of the living Spirit. We were there on our own (it being a weekday lock down). I sang Taize "ubi caritas" in thanks. Playing around with timing, volume, and space. The resonance was extraordinary.

This is a totally underrated exceptional ( but somehow humble) spiritual place.

Fantastic old Abbey. Worth visiting plenty to interest. Picnic seating if you wish to take a break.

So peaceful and quiet, still a lot of renovation going on. Nice spot at the side with picnic tables to sit and rest.

Dore abbey is a beautiful, soulful place. Also has superb acoustics, so great for concerts. It's worth reading up on the architectural history

A beautiful well kept Abbey in such a remote place and with amazing architecture and history.

Great atmosphere, carvings, and ancient frescos!

A fabulous place.
No facilities but a must to see if you are in this area

This place was just completely stunning , think giving descriptions spoil it ..just go visit and see how amazing it is for yourself.

Really interesting piece of history and still being used weekly or more for public worship. The history of the abbey is fascinating.

Open to the public and very nice church visited on the way to Hereford

Beautiful place of worship, holds a lot of history.

Very interesting place with a great history and story to tell
