The ruins of the abbey founded by St Augustine in the year 598, when he arrived from Rome to convert the Anglo-Saxons. Together with the cathedral and the little church of St Martin it makes up Canterbury's World Heritage Site. What remains are the foundations of the church, the crypts and the walls of the refectory, in a meadow a five-minute walk from the cathedral, past the Lady Wootton's Green gate.
It belongs to English Heritage: the ticket is cheaper online until midnight the day before and is valid all day. In winter it opens fewer days; check the calendar before going.
