The Farmland Museum and Denny AbbeyThe Farmland Museum and Denny Abbey

These historic buildings tell the story of rural Cambridgeshire through the centuries. Denny Abbey’s many rooms have housed Benedictine monks, Franciscan nuns, Knights, Templars and Cambridgeshire farmers. Farmyard buildings house fascinating displays on farming, traditional crafts and trades. The cottage takes you back to the 1940s, with outdoor privy
and cottage garden. Enjoy the natural setting, rich with archaeological remains and space to run free.
