    Hiking

    Founded in 1190 as a Premonstratensian priory, Cockersand Abbey was elevated to an abbey two years later. All that remains today is a windswept chapter house and ruins that are Grade I-listed.

    Its location, on a low island of clay in the middle of undrained marshland, earned it the moniker 'St Mary of the Marshes'. Its mix of red sandstone and grey gritstone give it an evocative appearance.
