Cistercians

Here's a reminder and some further details for you of our pilgrimage walk this Sunday to Buildwas Abbey in Shropshire.

Buildwas Abbey is owned and managed by English Heritage and they say this about it...

"Impressive ruins of a Cistercian abbey, including its unusually unaltered 12th-century church, beautiful vaulted and tile-floored chapter house, and recently re-opened crypt chapel. In a wooded Severn-side setting, not far from the Iron Bridge and Wenlock Priory."

We'll aim to meet at the church in Sheinton, about 2 miles west of Buildwas Abbey. The route of the walk follows part of the Severn Way, going fairly close to the river in parts, and taking us along a disused railway, so it should be pretty easy walking. The walk is about 2 miles long, so we should get to Buildwas in time for lunch.
