Newstead Abbey, Medieval priory in Newstead, England.
The Newstead Abbey estate spans 300 acres of gardens, lakes, and parkland, featuring Gothic architecture with stone arches and pointed windows.
King Henry II established this Augustinian priory in 1170 as penance for Thomas Becket's murder, later transforming into a country residence after the Dissolution.
The residence of Lord Byron contains 82 artworks, including portraits by Anthony van Dyck and pieces from Richard Westall and D.H. Lawrence.
Located 12 miles north of Nottingham near M1 Junction 27, the house opens weekends and holidays with adult admission at £15 plus parking fees.
A Newfoundland dog named Boatswain rests in an elaborate tomb on the grounds, commemorated by Byron's famous epitaph carved in stone.
