If walking the C2C you will pass the Abbey as you near Shap or its a 4 mile round trip walk from the bothy following the river Lowther avoiding all roads and along the Edge of the National Park. Founded in the late 12th century the Abbey is in the secluded and beautiful valley of the river Lowther, Shap Abbey was one of 32 religious houses in Britain belonging to the Premonstratensian order of canons. Today the impressive 15th century tower and other remains can be explored with the help of information panels that guide you around the abbey and illustrate daily monastic life.
