I can completely adhere to the other reviews : it is hard to find (I drove by it 3 times without noticing it ...) and yes, the site is in ruins and nothing more than a pile of bricks and stone, BUT... What a quiet & solemn place it is, just yards away from the busy traffic and goings-on of... More

So solemn place and so historical. Just had hard time locating it. More

Audio guide included, so you can go at your own pace. Large site with interpretive signs. Good museum indoors. More

I love St Augustine, studied him in Philosophy and Theology classes in uni. This abbey, however, is nothing much to behold. The majority of it is in ruins, and while it's pretty, there's nothing to do there except take a picture. More

It is Canterbury's best kept secret as it sits just outside of the main centre but is literallly only a ten minute walk if you walk slowly.

very interesting although not so much to see nowadays. but the audio guide brings the place to life so is a must. its a very unique historical site in the uk. More

Really enjoyed the audio tour and if you have an English heritage membership you definitely have to go. There is a lot of history in this place so try not to be disappointed because it is just a ruin. More
