Conishead Priory, Medieval priory and Buddhist meditation center in Ulverston, England
The Gothic Revival structure stands on the Furness peninsula, featuring ornate architectural details and expansive gardens overlooking the Morecambe Bay coastline.
The Augustinian priory, established in 1167 by Gamel de Pennington, underwent multiple transformations including a spa hotel and miners' convalescent home before its current role.
The Manjushri Kadampa Meditation Centre within Conishead Priory offers Buddhist teachings, meditation classes, and international festivals throughout the year.
Visitors can attend meditation sessions, explore the Buddhist temple, and enjoy vegetarian meals at the World Peace Cafe while walking through the surrounding woodland.
The Grade II* listed building combines medieval Christian heritage with contemporary Buddhist practice, housing a modern temple in its historical grounds.
