Croxden, in Staffordshire, England, is a delightful small village perhaps best known for its location, right against the old ruins of Croxden Abbey. This impressive structure, built in 1176, is still a beautiful site, owned and cared for by English Heritage. Until the dissolution of the monasteries in the 16th century the Abbey was run by Cistercian monks (known as 'white' monks) who made their living caring for sheep. It was an operational abbey for 350 years. Upon its closure it was left behind by the Abbot and 12 remaining monks. Despite the road running unfortunately through the middle of it, the Abbey is well maintained and has beautiful grounds in the midst of a working farm. It's free to visit within the hours of 10am and 5pm except during certain bank holidays such as Christmas day and New Year's Day.

Croxden itself is a beautiful rural village with great charm. Its location makes it ideal for spotting rare and common wild flowers and its residents keep their gardens with pride. The surrounding countryside is beautiful, with wild flowers, plants and trees gracefully framing the village and Abbey ruins.
