The site of Augustinian priory was carefully chosen in the 12th century at a crossing point of the river Birthing. It has survived centuries of Border warfare and today serves as both a parish church and a music venue

The beautiful and now tranquil setting of Augustinian Lanercost Priory belies an often troubled history. Standing close to Hadrian's Wall, it suffered frequent attacks during the long Anglo-Scottish wars, once by Robert Bruce in person. The mortally sick King Edward I rested here for five months in 1306-7, shortly before his death on his final campaign. Yet there is still much to see in this best-preserved of Cumbrian monasteries. The east end of the noble 13th-century church survives to its full height, housing within its dramatic triple tier of arches some fine monuments. There is an excellent coffee shop adjacent to the Priory and there are still regular church services held here.

Another great local historical venue and English Heritage site well worth a visit, along with the coffee and cake next door.

Just 2 miles from Wall & Lakes cottage you will find the magnificent Lanercost Priory and spectacular walk to Historical Birdoswald Roman Wall Fort. Your gateway to Hadrian's Wall and amazingly beautiful rolling countryside starts here. During your visit to Lanercost Priory remember to visit the tearoom as well for a special treat.
