The Abbey Gate in Bury St Edmunds, built around 1327, served as the grand entrance to the once-thriving Abbey of St Edmund, which was one of the wealthiest Benedictine monastries in Medieval England.
Whereas most of the abbey is left in ruins the Abbey Gate is still intact. It is a great example of gothic architecture and evokes a sense of medieval grandeur and a fantastic entranceway to the Abbey Gardens inside.

Gardens and ruins are great to walk round and absorb the history
Beautiful piece of history. Lovely to visit, would definitely recommend a stroll over.
Beautiful place to go and pass some time lovely gardens and sights
A stunning gate for the beautiful public park. This gate has a crazy history alone! Next to a very busy road and the foot traffic is high!
Lovely gardens so well kept, free wifi at the benches, visit the birds Avery
Great structure and entry to the gardens.
