Westminster Abbey

Excellent location for a walk if you enjoy beautiful views and lush greenery

Beautiful setting. Peaceful. My uncle was one of the founding fathers. Used to go to top of the bell tower with views of the Frazier Valley.

Will definitely be back to Westminster Abbey this Spring and thank you for the peacefulness and serenity and lovely views

Such a lovely quiet place to visit. The light coming through the stain glass windows was extraordinary. The whole atmosphere was peaceful. Had a nice chat with a monk who has been there 60 years. What a place to grow old. The short walk was enjoyable and the view from the lookout point was lovely.

The monks have built a path and a lookout. Perched high above the town, it has a protective fence. The view across the Fraser River and the mountains beyond is gorgeous.

The monks' singing/chanting during service is very beautiful. The acoustics inside the cathedral add to the effect. Outside is the bell tower, a prominent landmark visible from many places in the valley below. A 5 minute walk from the cathedral/bell tower brings you to a spectacular viewpoint that overlooks the Fraser River valley

Westminster Abbey is a community of Benedictine monks and home to the Seminary of Christ the King. It is located on the border of the town of Mission, British Columbia. It has a beautiful landscape, and a scenic view overlooking the Mission, the Fraser River, and the Abbotsford.The Abbey Church has a defining environment with stained glass windows and an elevated cathedral ceiling. A serene, sacred good place for prayers and a place of worship to God. Everyone is welcome to join the worship & liturgy. The Abbey Church is open to visitors from 5:30 am to 6:00 pm (Monday-Friday).

It's a beautiful peaceful place. Theirs an ease and u feel free. The walk to the lookout is pretty neat. The place has incredible beauty. Definitely worth a visit.

Sadly we came just before closing so we couldn't see the inside... but wow! Was the outside beautiful. Worth the drive. Will definitely return at a better time.

As a Catholic, I've heard about this place for many years. Finally I have a chance to visit Mission and this place when camping nearby.You could get a map from the residence visitor centre, or you could just download it from their website. Not too many indoor places were open to public. We visited the church and then walked around the outdoor ground along trails. Very huge ground that you could feel you were hiking in a provincial park. There was a view point that looked out to the city of Mission and Fraser River which was very beautiful. The trail to Our Lady Grotto was not well trimmed. Grass was a bit tall and wet after some rain. Our boots were all wet after about 30-45 mins walking around.Very quiet and tranquil location. If you are looking for a calm and peaceful experience, this is the place to come.
