Belmont Abbey is a community of monks, founded in 1859, following the Rule of St Benedict.
Under the guidance of the Abbot the monks lead a common life of work, study and prayer.
The main work of the Community is pastoral: on its parishes (in Wales, Herefordshire, and Cumbria), overseas with its foundation in Northern Peru, and at the Abbey welcoming guests and visitors to its guesthouse, Hedley Lodge, and to those on retreat.

The monastic refectory has been transformed into a chapel for all other services. Guests are welcome to join the community there for Mass and the Divine Office, access via Hedley Lodge.
