Tresco Priory, Monastery ruins in Tresco, United Kingdom
The remains of Tresco Priory stand within the Abbey Gardens, featuring stone walls that extend 23.5 meters in length and 7.5 meters in width.
The Benedictine monastery, founded in 946 AD, received protection from King Edward III in 1367 following destruction caused by pirates and mariners.
The monastic settlement, dedicated to Saint Nicholas, maintained close connections with Tavistock Abbey through official charters from King Henry I.
Visitors can access the Grade II listed ruins daily from March through November while exploring the surrounding Abbey Gardens with their diverse plant collections.
The monastery ruins incorporate Gothic architectural elements and stand among 17 acres of gardens that house plants from Mediterranean climate zones.
