The hermit’s cave is still there in the woods to the south east of the village, accessible via a permissive path around  Verger’s Farm. For the moment the traditional route through the farmyard is closed pending the outcome of a public enquiry, delayed due to COVID 19.

The abbey site is scheduled as an ancient monument but is privately owned. For access, please ask at Abbey House. The key to Dale’s church can also be obtained from Abbey House but the building is closed at the moment due to COVID19. Normally there is a service at 3pm every Sunday.

No trip to the village would be complete without a visit to the Carpenter’s Arms or The Friar’s House
