Shap Abbey Tours

Photo by Sharon Sunshine


For a fascinating history lesson, check out the crumbling remains of Shap Abbey and picture how it would have looked in its heyday.

Shap Abbey is the perfect place kick off your day in Penrith. This once-important structure is recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only spot to see here. Allow some time for other attractions like Lowther Castle and Gardens, Lowther Park, and Kennedys Fine Chocolates to really enjoy what's on offer in the area.
