Waverley Abbey 
Description
The ruins of the first Cistercian Abbey built in England, originally founded in the early 12th Century. The abbey grew and thrived over the centuries, but was already in decline when the reformation came along at which point the Abbey was closed down by Henry VIII and the lands sold off to one of his friends. The buildings eventually fell into ruins, and parts of the site have subsequently been lost to farms, but significant remains of the buildings still exist - in particular the dormitories and chapter house. You can download an audio guide from the English Heritage website that guides you round the site (the site itself is unstaffed, but had excellent 4G reception if you forget to download in advance)
