    I've been here many times and I always enjoy my time here. My grandfather is buried here and it's just such a beautiful place with a lot of history and care towards it.  more »

    This place is simply lovely. Me and my parents attended the Easter service. The atmosphere was unique. And the monks were more than welcoming and friendly. Situated literally in the middle of nowhere. But so easy to find :)

    Just stunning. A silence informed by love. A beautiful, still unfinished, 20th century restoration of a medieval building.
