While the abbey site is ancient, the abbey church is a modern construction, erected by a community of Benedictine monks to the greater glory of God. The monks live at the abbey in a Catholic community.
Visitors are encouraged to visit the church, and also the shop and other visitor facilities.
The church is worth visiting, as it is a reconstruction in Cistercian-Norman style on the original site plan.
