Muchelney Abbey

MUCHELNEY ABBEY

10 miles from Edington Parish

Once a wealthy Benedictine house, Muchelney’s main buildings were demolished by Henry VIII in 1538. See the richly decorated cloister walk and thatched monks’ lavatory – the only one in Britain.

Stanton Drew Circles and Cove

STANTON DREW CIRCLES AND COVE

19 miles from Edington Parish

Although this is the third largest complex of prehistoric standing stones in England, the three circles and three-stone ‘cove’ of Stanton Drew in Somerset are surprisingly little known. The Great Circle, 113 metres in diameter, is one of the largest stone circles in the country and has 26 surviving upright stones. Yet recent surveys have revealed that the circles and cove were just part of a much more elaborate and important ritual site than had previously been imagined.

Daws Castle is a clifftop fortress, which was founded by King Alfred to defend the people of Watchet against Viking attacks.

Cleeve Abbey

CLEEVE ABBEY
