Furness Abbey Furness Abbey English Heritage

Description


Furness Abbey was a large institution that controlled significant tracts of land both in the local area and in Ireland and the Isle of Man. Following the reformation the abbey was disolved and rendered uninhabitable. Significant parts of the abbey still remain and it's possible to wander around most of the ruins. A small museum and interpretation centre tells the history of the Abbey and showcases some of the key finds from the site.
