April 20, 2025, View of Malmesbury Abbey

Just a gorgeous view of the Malmesbury Abbey, you can imagine it, centuries ago, being a place so visible in the landscape with much fewer buildings!

This is a bit of a hidden gem. It's quite easy to miss it, yet it has a large indoor seating area as well as outside tables and chairs. Open 7 days a week. Big choice of snacks, cakes, and coffees. Recommended.

"Malmesbury (/ˈmɑː(l)mzbəri/) is a town and civil parish in Wiltshire, England. As a market town it became prominent in the Middle Ages as a centre for learning focused on and around Malmesbury Abbey, the bulk of which forms a rare survival of the dissolution of the monasteries. Once the site of an Iron Age fort, in the early medieval period it became the site of a monastery famed for its learning and one of Alfred the Great's fortified burhs for defence against the Vikings. Æthelstan, the first king of all England, was buried in Malmesbury Abbey when he died in 939." Cit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malmesbury

Amazingly the abbey has a written history covering 1300 years. Although today little of the monastic complex remains visible, extensive buried remains will survive and the monument is important as a site with early origins and which continued in use as a monastic house until its dissolution in 1535.
