Dore Abbey is located in west Herefordshire in the beautiful Golden Valley just a short distance from the Welsh border. Dating from 1147 it is a former Cistercian abbey that would once have rivalled many cathedrals for size. Sadly, the nave was lost to the Dissolution of the Monastries but the remainder was restored and has been used as a parish church since the 16th century.
Settled next to the River Dore and in the shadow of the Black Mountains and Offa’s Dyke, Dore Abbey is a unique and beautiful place in which to experience beautiful music-making.
