Abbey Gardens, England

The stunning Abbey Gardens in Bury St Edmunds surround the ruins of the town’s 11th-century Benedictine monastery. Founded in 1020 by King Canute, the abbey was due to celebrate its 1,000th anniversary two years ago, but celebrations were postponed until this year because of the pandemic. The abbey was a powerhouse of medieval England until Henry VIII’s Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1539, but the remaining ruins on the site are extensive, including the 14th-century Great Gate, the Norman Tower and the west front of the church.
