Lee Abbey Christian Conference, Retreat and Holiday Centre

Local nameLee Abbey Christian Conference, Retreat and Holiday Centre
LocationDevon, UK

Lee Abbey, founded in 1946, is an ecumenical Christian community between Woody Bay and Lynmouth in Devon, England. It is a Grade II listed building.

The first building on the site may have been a farmhouse built by Cistercian abbots of Forde Abbey around 1200. The current Gothic Revival buildings are from the 1850s. In the 1920s it was bought and used unsuccessfully as a hotel. During World War II a boys' school was evacuated to Lee Abbey. After the war the dilapidated buildings were bought for use as a Christian retreat, and extensive building work has taken place from the 1950s to the present day.

The site now offers retreats, group weekends and Christian family holidays. The community also has accommodation in London.
