St. Augustine's Abbey

It was then used by St Augustine and his monks, on their mission to convert the Anglo-Saxons to Christianity. The tour will take you uphill to St Martin's Church where there is a steep climb up a series of steps. Please also note the churchyard ground is uneven. Sturdy shoes are recommended. Subject to church opening and service hours, your Guide will be able to take you inside St Martin's.
