Opening and last entry
Daily 9.30am–5pm from April to September, 10am–4pm from October to March. Last entry is 30 minutes before closing. Christmas and New Year closures apply; check the date if planning a holiday visit.
Buggy and wheelchair access
The route around the ruins has flights of steps, gravel and uneven thresholds, with some steps lacking handrails. A ramp to the visitor-centre exhibition is opened on request; it does not make the ruins step-free.
Toilets and baby changing
Adapted toilets are upstairs in the visitor centre; ask staff to open the ramp route if needed. There are also adapted toilets in the public car park. Baby changing is available on site.
Parking and arrival
4/5 Abbey Bridgend, Jedburgh, TD8 6JQ. Use the public car park about 100 metres away, or drop off at the front door if that is easier.
Food and weather
Bring a picnic for the outdoor tables or eat in Jedburgh town. The visitor-centre displays offer a break indoors, but most of the abbey visit is outside, so choose a different stop for sustained heavy rain.
Why visit
The abbey church and the remains of the monks’ living quarters give you a sense of how large this place once was. The included audio guide runs on your own phone, so bring headphones if your children would enjoy following the story. Large-print and Open Dyslexic print versions are also available.
