In Washford lies one of the undiscovered jewels of Somerset, providing an interesting day out for families and budding historians alike.
The Cistercian abbey of Cleeve is a haven of peace and tranquillity, said to contain the finest cloister buildings in England. Visitors today can catch a glimpse of monastic life 800 years ago. The abbey church was destroyed by Henry VIII during the dissolution in 1536, however the cloister buildings including the gatehouse, 15th century refectory with its glorious angel roof, and 13th century heraldic tiles have survived remarkably intact.
