The priory is a small Benedictine priory of c.1080-90 built by Count John and given to the abbey of St. Jacut in Brittany. Later it was used as a barn and now it is in the care of the Department of the Environment. Although restoration has taken place, the priory is substantially intact and remains a rare example of Romanesque work.

We start our walks at 10.00am unless stated.  Please arrive 15 minutes beforehand if you can. The duration of a walk includes time for drink and lunch breaks. Please ensure that you bring sufficient water, drinks and food (picnic lunch) to sustain you during the walks.  Walk leaders will explain stops for drinks and lunch at the start of a walk. 

Do consider the length of a walk, the weather and likely ground conditions to ensure you are fit enough and have appropriate footwear and clothing. If in doubt, contact the walk leader for advice. 

Leaders make every effort to ensure your safety, but we expect members and guests to take care to minimise the risk of accidents. 

All “Registered Assistance Dogs” are welcome on the walks with their owner.  Please contact the walk leader.
