In 1019, King Canute granted the manors of Horning, Ludham and Neatishead to a group of monks to establish an Abbey. One thousand years later, St Benet’s Abbey is still an iconic site for people visiting the area. Hailed for its beauty, serenity and history, the ruins are a must-see if you are nearby.
