Whether you love the history or your dog loves the grounds, become a fan of Newstead Abbey The Abbey was founded as a monastic house in the late 12th century, and to this day the house retains much of its medieval character. The most famous survival is the iconic West Front of the church that dates from the late 13th century and is now a scheduled ancient monument. Heralded by many as the greatest

romantic poet of his time, Lord Byron lived at Newstead Abbey at various times from the autumn of 1808 to the autumn of 1814. Visitors may visit the Abbey to discover the Byron collection and they can now take a short break in the grounds of the Abbey in our newly refurbished Gardeners Cottage. http://www.newsteadabbey.org.uk/
