Kingswood Abbey Gatehouse Open Days

Heritage Open Day: English Heritage will be opening the doors to Kingswood Abbey Gatehouse during the 2025 Heritage Open Days Festival. As part of the 2025 Heritage Festival Open Days Festival, English Heritage will be opening the doors to Kingswood Abbey Gatehouse.

The little Cotswold village of Kingswood, near Wotton-under-Edge, was once the site of an important Cistercian abbey. Today, all that survives of the abbey is the fine 15th-century gatehouse that once controlled access to the monastery. It was one of the last monastic buildings to be constructed in England, not long before the Suppression of the Monasteries. Two storeys high, the gatehouse now straddles a road in the village, and above the central arch is a richly sculpted window.
