Bury St Edmunds Abbey used to be a monastery of power. After the monastery was dissolved, some local residents removed most of the stones of the monastery, and even the tomb and remains of St Edmunds disappeared. No trace. Now only the ruins behind the cathedral and the beautiful garden remains, revealing the beauty of the vicissitudes of life. There are two well-preserved ancient gates in the park surrounding the monastery, through which one can enter the monastery. The gate opposite the tourist information office was built in the 14th century and has defensive battlements, hanging gates and archery openings. Another entrance is on Mount Angel, where the Norman tower from the early 12th century looms.

The abbey environment is well maintained, quiet and elegant
Years change, the sea of vicissitudes Berry St. Edmunds, how beautiful and majestic a monastery once was, but with the traces of history, it became vicissitudes, became dilapidated, and became a sigh. ㉿ The power center, lost this monastery overnight, was once the power center here, but I didn't expect that after the dissolution of the monastery, the nearby residents may be in resentment or anger, and they demolished it! One brick and one tile have to take home to build a house, so now we can't see a complete monastery, we can only pass through the two gates that are well preserved and enter the monastery. The ruins inside, it feels a bit like the Yuanmingyuan, but it may be more complete than the Yuanmingyuan. ㉿ After the tour enters the gate, you can see the first well-preserved relics - pigeons, and then there are many houses built on the fence next to it. There are also towers here, which may play a military defense role. Unfortunately, there is no anti-riot people. Even the bones of St. Edmunds disappeared. There is also a very realistic statue here, St. Edmund himself~ Generally speaking, it is worth visiting. From the various relics, you can see the traces of history and the ruthlessness of the years. ㉿ Write in the last 1, traffic, walk south of the train station, about 20 minutes walking distance. 2. All staff are free of charge, please come and visit it all at once~
