Welcome to Forde Abbey
Forde Abbey in Dorset is a treasure in an area already known for its outstanding beauty. It is also a family home, and a living and breathing, working estate.
More than 900 years of history and romance are encapsulated in this elegant former Cistercian monastery and its 30 acres of award winning gardens. The amazing variety of historic buildings, art, formal gardens, and wide open spaces found in this stately home makes it a wonderful place to spend a day for adults and children of all ages, and an ideal destination for group visits. It is also a stunning venue for weddings, receptions and private celebrations of all kinds.
Please explore our website to see what you can experience on a day visit here, whether it be a family outing in beautiful Dorset, a trip to our plant nursery, or a fun day picking your own fruit, hopefully you will find something for all the family. If you have any questions or cannot find something on the website please call us on 01460 220231 or email info@fordeabbey.co.uk.
Please enjoy your visit and come back to see us soon.
