St Benet’s Abbey You’ll find the ruins of a 1000-year-old monastery along the River Bure. This was the only monastery in England not to be closed by Henry VIII during Tudor times, but the building began to vanish along with its centrepiece church. The ruins make a stunning backdrop to the Broads landscape. You can moor here for free overnight if you’re not fazed by the possible sound of the ghost of a traitorous monk, Essric the Bailiff!

1,000 years ago St Benet's Abbey was a thriving monastery. It is located along the River Bure and can only be reached by river or by foot. It is a 25 minute walk from Ludham Bridge which is a 25 minute drive from Robin Wood.
