We visited this Abbey, and I am so glad we did; the grounds were stunning. The historical significance of this site was fascinating, seeing that the 1st,2nd,3rd and 4th popes of Canterbury were buried here was really interesting to find out. The staff were friendly and welcoming, really cool visit, I would highly recommend a visit there.

Absolutely incredible! St Augustine’s was the site of four churches over nearly 1000 years before falling victim to Henry VIII. Enough remains that it’s possible to get a real feel for the abbey in its heyday. The visitors’ centre is great, and I highly recommend the audio tour. You also get a great view of the cathedral in the distance.

I visited St. Augustine’s Abbey today and was truly impressed. The site is steeped in history and beautifully maintained, with clear signage and plenty of information to help bring the ruins to life. Walking through the grounds, it’s easy to imagine the grandeur it once held. The audio guide was a great addition, providing fascinating insights into the abbey’s past. A peaceful and reflective place—definitely worth a visit if you’re in Canterbury and interested in England’s religious history.
