Frommer's Staff

This partly ruined Augustinian priory was once home to Romantic poet Lord Byron, and visitors can tour his private apartments and see some of his possessions, in addition to exploring various Victorian rooms plus the medieval cloisters and chapterhouse, now a chapel. A dressing-up room and wildlife trail through the gardens and parkland with their lakes, ponds, and cascades keep kids engaged.
