Welcome!

Located in an idyllic rural setting close to Cambridge (just off the A10), the Farmland Museum and Denny Abbey is a day out for all the family! Our independent museum tells the 850-year story of farming and life in the Cambridgeshire Fens, with hands-on and interactive exhibits, in addition to being the location of Denny Abbey, the beautiful Former Benedictine monastery which we manage on behalf of English Heritage. We look forward to welcoming you!
