Not a huge amount of St. Catherine's Chapel, known locally as "Lydiate Abby" remains but it is worth a closer look if you're in the area. It was built for the private worship of the Ireland family, Lords of the Manor of Lydiate from c. 1410 - 1673.

Hidden away surrounded by trees on all sides, Lydiate Abbey (remains of) one of three such remaining medieval ruins left in country. 50 metres north of the 'Scotch Piper' public house (oldest Inn in Lancashire) well worth an evening visit for its romantic setting and to observe the numerous 'Bats' feeding on warm summer evenings.

Good piece of local history

Loved this place, well worth a visit. Next door to Scotch Piper Inn. Also visit Lydiate Hall ruins practically next door. I managed to access it via the public footpath but I think you're supposed to go via the farm shop.

Beautiful place full of history

Very nice place to see on an evening walk. Scotch Piper pub nearby, well worth a visit.

Nice to walk around , but sad to see grave stones and all around not looked after ,,

Spooky, but appropriate being next to a very old thatched roof pub. Steeped in history.
