点评:Today our family of three — two adults and our 12-year-old daughter — visited Quarr Abbey. We’ve visited several times before and always enjoy the peaceful sanctity of the place.
Although it’s a popular destination, it never feels overwhelmed with visitors, and we were still able to enjoy the stillness of the Abbey Church and the beautiful gardens.
We enjoyed seeing the piggies, including the mumma pig and her piglets happily enjoying a muddy wallow! We also visited the shop, the artists’ gallery and the museum at the back, which tells you all about the Abbey and the daily lives of the monks who live there.
We decided to have lunch while we were there and didn’t mind the 30-minute wait at the café, as we’d found a lovely shady table beneath the large willow tree in the garden. We each had something different — I had quiche, my other half had a cheese and ham toastie, and my daughter had a large brioche bap with generous fish goujons. Each meal came with fresh salad, homemade slaw and fries. The portions were a good size, and everything was delicious.
A thoroughly enjoyable day, as always, and I’m sure we’ll be visiting again.

翻译:今天,我们一家三口——两位大人以及12岁的女儿——参观了夸尔修道院。我们以前也来过几次,每次都能感受到这里的宁静与神圣氛围。
虽然这里是个热门景点,但游客数量始终不会过多,因此我们仍能尽情享受修道院教堂的静谧以及美丽的花园。
我们还欣赏到了那些小猪们,包括猪妈妈带着小猪们在泥潭里开心地打滚呢!之后我们还去了纪念品商店。那里的艺术家画廊以及后方的博物馆,可以让你全面了解这座修道院以及修行僧侣们的日常生活。
我们决定在那里吃午饭,虽然咖啡馆需要等待30分钟,但我们并不在意,因为我们在花园里的大柳树下找到了一张阴凉宜人的桌子。我们各自点了不同的食物——我点了乳蛋饼,我的伴侣点了火腿奶酪吐司,女儿则吃了一个很大的布里欧面包,里面还有满满的炸鱼条。每餐都配有新鲜沙拉、自制凉拌菜和薯条。份量恰到好处,所有食物都美味可口。
和往常一样,这是非常愉快的一天,我确信我们还会再来。
