The quiet path but busy road on a one in one out through road leads you outside the Abbey. Dore Abbey was infact one of the greatest medieval monasteries of Herefordshire, founded in 1147, the church is now partly used as a parish church and is over 800 years old in parts. The church itself stands beautifully and peaceful, and when you wander inside you arnt disappointed with how well they have preserved the abbey. When you first enter the abbey, you dont expect to see how vast and stunning it is. Something worth noting is that just inside they have laid out a information table which also shows you how they have restored it and how the abbey was before the dissolution. Overall, an overlooked part of history with a beautiful tranquil atmosphere, sometimes it really is these hidden gems of places that make exploring worth it. One of the best things i found about Dore Abbey, was the vast amount of medieval carvings, stained glass, wall paintings and monuments, it really is well worth it in terms of beautiful architecture.

An astonishing, almost overwhelming, sense of the living Spirit. We were there on our own (it being a weekday lock down). I sang Taize \ubi caritas\ in thanks. Playing around with timing, volume, and space. The resonance was extraordinary.
Really interesting piece of history and still being used weekly or more for public worship. The history of the abbey is fascinating.
A beautiful peaceful place to visit. Fabulous stained glass and some interesting stone carvings
Great atmosphere, carvings, and ancient frescos!
