Prinknash AbbeyIncongruous sort of a place. The first thing you come to is a wooden pre-fab auction room with
cafe and monastic shop
attached. Down the hill is a
bird and deer zoo.
A walk up the hill takes you to a pretty Tudor mansion and chapel.
All set in a huge park entry to which is free. There's plenty of space for picnics and walks.

This eyesore, this blot on the Cotswolds landscape, isn't an insurance company head office
it's an Abbey built by the monks in 1972. Its crassness has to be seen to be believed.
In 2008 the monks saw sense and moved back to the Tudor mansion. Sadly the eyesore won't be demolished:
sold for flats. Clearly there is no God.
