O znamenitosti
Hitre informacije: Mahasti kamniti samostanski hodniki in okrašena romanska vrata vabijo k počasnemu raziskovanju, medtem ko na kapitelih in nosilcih kukajo stotine izrezljanih figur. Dež kaplja po starih tlakovcih, zato ladja zveni, razvaljena dvorana pa razkriva srednjeveške grobove in redko viteško kamnito podobo v naravni velikosti.
Poudarki: Med sprehodom po samostanskem hodniku iz 13. stoletja še vedno začutite več kot 800 let apnenca pod nogami, vonjate vlažen mah in slišite votel zvok, ko potrkate po izrezljanih kapitelih, kjer več kot 30 srednjeveških obrazov in živali opazuje iz kamna. Legenda pravi, da je 14. stoletni opat skrival majhen zvon pod dvorano, da bi ga zaščitil pred napadalci, in domačini so po tleh potrkavali v upanju, da bodo izzvali kovinski odmev kot znak varnega prehoda.
Notranji nasveti
- Wear stout shoes for uneven cobbles and grassy grounds.
- Visit in the last hour before closing for softer light and far fewer visitors.
- Head to the cloister arcade and the north transept tombs for the best close-up photo opportunities.
- Bring a lightweight waterproof layer and insect repellent, the site is exposed and can be windy.
