Now managed by a combination of English Heritage and a young persons' music charity who run courses here, the abbey contains some complete structures. This one is a patchwork of brick, flintwork, beach pebble and rendering.
The abbey itself was clearly a vast structure.
The Lady Chapel has been made weatherproof and may well be used for services, concerts, weddings...
The remains of a Tudor gatehouse.
We left the Abbey and took a path through woodland leading out to the sea, just south of Minsmere, where we sat and had lunch. Suddenly a black head appeared swimming parallel to the beach, submerging for a stretch and then reappearing. It was a grey seal.
