Days out: Roche Abbey

This week on a part day off work I wanted to go somewhere for a few hours peace and quiet. The weather was forecast got be good over lunch. Therefore we went off out for a picnic. 

After looking for somewhere local and good value for money. As we knew we would only be there a few hours. We decided to go to Roche Abbey near Maltby in Doncaster.
This is an english heritage site and cost £3.80 per adult to get in. (we also had a buy one get one free voucher).



There was enough grounds to have a walk for an hour or so and lots of open space for a picnic. There were a few benches but we took a rug. There were quite a few people that had done the same. 
This is the type of place where you need to take your own entertainment. A few families had taken small bat and ball sets for example.


I would go again as it was peaceful and a nice local attraction for a quick get away.
