ウェストキャメル周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

元はザクセン人の大聖堂であったシェボーン修道院は、垂直ゴシック建築の金色の石造りの傑作です。その名声の源は、扇形ヴォールトであり、おそらくイングランドで最も初期かつ最も壮観なもので、繊細な石のレースのように天井に広がっています。 修道院は、火災（1437年に喧嘩好きな修道院長と町の人々によって引き起こされた）、修道院解散令、そして時の試練を乗り越えてきました。内部には、ウェセックス王の墓と見事なグレート・ウェスト・ウィンドウがあります。それは、蜂蜜色のハムストーンで輝き、町を定義する静かで古代の威厳を持つ、ドーセットの生きた「灯台」であり続けています。

I always make time to pop in on my walks in this area as it is wonderfully calming and peaceful. I like to just sit and marvel at the talent of the architecture.

St Michael's Hill is situated approximately 10-15 minute walk from the road going through Montacute village… There is a tower upon it, which you can access, and climb the spiral stairs to look out across southern Somerset. Worth a visit for the view, even if only once…
