St Antony's Priory extends a warm welcome to individuals and small groups wishing to benefit from its calm atmosphere and the gift of space away from the ongoing busyness of daily life.

It offers a peaceful opportunity for those seeking relaxation and refreshment. You can see images of the priory in both the slideshows and galleries within our website.
