Plan a Great Day Out
Why not go on to visit the extensive remains of Bury St Edmunds Abbey, 12 miles to the east, and once one of the richest and most powerful Benedictine monasteries in England.
Denny Abbey and the Farmland Museum is another former Benedictine foundation and is 20 miles to the west of the bridge. Founded in 1159, it has been home to aged and infirm Knights Templars and to Franciscan nuns, and it was used as a farm from 1539 until the 1960s. All these changes are still traceable in the building. The neighbouring Farmland Museum tells the story of Cambridgeshire rural life
