Here, on the edge of the Cambridgeshire fens, stands a beautiful Jacobean house encompassed by 98 acres of magnificent gardens. Originally the site of a small Augustinian priory, near Cambridge, England, Anglesey Abbey today is a place that can be enjoyed by visitors with wide-ranging interests. Gardening enthusiasts will find it an inviting Eden, those interested in collections of fine art will be spoilt for choice, and even those seeking to uncover the secrets of a medieval monastery will not be disappointed. Thought to have been founded in 1135 by Henry I, Anglesey Priory was a small community of 11 canons.
