Cleeve Abbey, Washford, near Dunster, Somerset

Tour guide Mark at Cleeve Abbey.  Mark knows monasteries and the history of the Cistercian monks very well and his one hour free tour of Cleeve on a Tuesday afternoon is the best value (well, the tour is included in the 4.20 GB pound entry price) in Somerset. Cleeve has sections built between the 13th and 16th centuries.  The order was silent but at least the monks were given half a pint of wine a day.  A thought for classes after Week 6?
