![]() Hulne PrioryTravel Information and nearby accommodation
Hulne Priory, was founded as a daughter house of xx in 1240 by Carmelite monks. The priory was destroyed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries by Henry VIII, but considerable parts of the monastic buildings remain intact. Among the remains are scattered Victorian sculptures of monks praying. After the priory was dissolved the property fell to the Percy family, Dukes of Northumberland, and the priory buildings now stand amidst Hulne Park, used by the Dukes as a hunting park. A very short walk away is Alnwick Abbey Gatehouse, the only surviving part of a 12th century Premonstratensian abbey.
