St Augustine's Abbey

Highlight • Religious Site

The abbey was built around 598 AD after Augustine made the journey from Rome to Britain on a mission to convert the Anglo-Saxons to Christianity. The abbey is one of England's oldest surviving monasteries and was originally intended as a burial place for the kings of Kent. Much of the layout of the abbey remains, while ruins around the entire site can be explored.
