Walk up towards the beautiful ancient monastic priory fields and see the restored Grade II listed dovecote with the unique double nesting boxes.

The Grade II Listed dovecote at Abbey Farm is isolated in a paddock, the site being scheduled as an ancient monument (remains of the Cluniac priory of St Peter and Paul).
