Impressive architecture, fascinating history and with beautiful grounds, well worth visiting. Joining the tour is the best way to see the place and hear about its history as there is no access, you must visit the website for access and tour times.

Absolutely stunning place and abundance of history. I went on a tour on 31.08.2019. The guild was very professional, passionate and knowledgeable. Hats off to the guild’s voluntary service.

The visit to the crypt was somewhat sad to see Prince Imperial depart at such early age. But the fact that Queen Victoria has given the Prince Imperial a place in Windsor Castle explains the strong bonding between the two royal families.

Very well kept and tucked away from the busy town centre.

The gargoyle are pretty unique.

It's a beautiful place. But if you are thinking of monastic life be aware that literally dozens of young men have left formation in Farnborough over the past 25 years, sometimes three or four at a time. Do not think that you will be any different, and won't leave for the same reasons as they did. Fortunately in the age of the Internet you can find out their reasons for leaving by a simple search, and can make an informed decision before entering Farnborough.

I was listening the history of the place, of the King which is quite interesting
You must go there and the prest who speak is awesome, he know almost everything about the King and his family.
He is funny also, so it deserve a visit, but don't forget to book that earlier 😉

I recently visited St Michael's Abbey to photograph a beautiful winter wedding ceremony. WOW the opportunities to take unique photos are endless here. Cannot wait to return soon again.

Cool Cool Cool, inside, but the sanctity experience is divine. Serene and calm inside out-proper for an abby.
