Denny Abbey and Farmland Museum Location map Waterbeach, Cambridgeshire Well-preserved remains of 12th century Benedictine Abbey, still featuring Norman interiors. Over the centuries the abbey has also been home to the Knights Templar and Franciscan nuns and was later transformed into a farmhouse. This attraction now combines with the adjacent Farmland Museum. Denny is a fascinating site, due in no small part to the fact that it has been used for multiple purposes over the centuries, and features from each period of use remain to give us tantalising glimpses into the past.
