Lee Abbey has never been an "abbey" . It is now a 90-strong international and interdenominational Community which aims to renew and serve the Church, and share its experience of living together
When people first walk or drive onto the Lee Abbey estate through the Valley of Rocks near Lynton, they often say they feel a sense of God's peace and presence.
Lee Abbey sits in a 280-acre estate right on the coast
But Lee Abbey isn't a 'nice Christian hotel in a pretty location'. Set up with an Anglican foundation, it began in 1946 with a vision that came out of the challenging 1945 report by William Temple, "Towards the Conversion of England" - to offer holiday houseparties with Biblical teaching, worship and fun, renewing and inspiring God's people for His work.
Sixty years later, Lee Abbey is still passionate about renewing and serving the Church, and welcomes individuals and church groups throughout the year. The programme, which you can take part in as much or as little as you wish, includes a wide variety of subjects, particularly midweek.
Lee Abbey is home to a Christian Community that hosts a Conference, Retreat and Holiday Centre, set in a spacious 280 acres of farm and woodland, overlooking the dramatic North Devon coast near Lynton. As a guest, you are free to join in as many (or as few!) programme sessions as you like.
Our vision is that you experience a new or renewed encounter with the living Lord Jesus Christ.
The Community is an interdenominational Christian team of around 100 individuals and families brought together from across the globe by God's call to live for and serve Him, developing new skills and broadening their experience.
