Lee Abbey

Lee Abbey is an ecumenical Christian community located in the picturesque Devon countryside, established in 1946. Nestled between Woody Bay and Lynmouth, this Grade II listed building has a rich history dating back to the Domesday Book of 1086. Originally a farmhouse built by Cistercian monks, it transformed over the centuries from a private estate to a failed hotel and finally into a vibrant retreat center. Visitors can enjoy various retreats, group weekends, and family holidays, along with access to a beach, tea shop, and occasional shop. The site also features modern facilities, including a chapel and youth center, making it a unique destination for spiritual growth and relaxation amidst stunning natural beauty.
