Roche Abbey

Highlight • Historical Site

Beautifully set in a valley landscaped by ‘Capability’ Brown in the 18th Century, Roche Abbey was once home to 50 monks and 100 lay brothers.
Despite the monastry being supressed in 1538, and most of the buildings dismantled, the soaring early Gothic transepts of this Cistercian monastery still survive to their original height and are ranked in importance with the finest early Gothic architecture in Britain. The ruins are now also the centrepiece of a beautifully designed landscape

Roche Abbey Tunnel Entrance

Highlight • Structure

This tunnel entrance was originally made in the medieval period. The tunnel continues several metres into the bank wall below water level of Laughton Pond, its other end is not visible. A channel from the tunnel links to the river flowing through Roche Abbey. It was probably adapted as a landscape feature of Roche Abbey in the scheme carried out between 1774 and 1777 by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown for Lord Scarbrough.
