Shaftesbury Abbey museum and garden
This was once the most important Benedictine community for women in the country and the supposed resting place of the murdered boy king Edward the Martyr.
The excavated foundations of the abbey church lie within a walled garden and the Anglo-Saxon herb garden and medieval orchard are not to be missed. Today visitors can see the abbey rebuilt through a virtual tour of the abbey church.
