Hiking

Few remains of Hyde Abbey remain. This is the old gatehouse. Today, pigeons nest here.

According to a plaque (actually a bit further up the street), the Abbey is the known burial place of King Alfred the Great and some of his family members ! This Abbey must have been very impressive in pre-dissolution Britain.
