Alton Abbey, Benedictine abbey in Beech, England.

The Alton Abbey stands on Abbey Road in Hampshire, featuring architectural elements of flint and brick walls inspired by Tintern Abbey design.

Established in 1895, the monastery originated from the Society of Saint Paul's mission to support destitute merchant seafarers in South Wales.

The Abbey Church, constructed between 1901 and 1907, hosts six daily public services and maintains Benedictine traditions of prayer and community living.

Visitors can participate in retreats, access updated event information through the official website, and join services throughout the week.

The monastery produces its own incense and maintains a bakery where monks prepare communion bread as part of their daily activities.
