Milton Abbas is a place of exceptional interest. A lawyer
instrumental in arranging King Henry VIII's divorce from his first wife
Catherine of Aragon was given land here and a gothic mansion and abbey
now stand side by side on this land in woods and fields. Thatched
cottages line the street of this 18th century village.
The countryside around is quite unspoilt and peaceful.
