Rievaulx Abbey

A fabulously picturesque old abbey near York dismantled by Henry VIII in the 16th Century. Don’t miss an opportunity to go there!

Rievaulx Abbey is a striking, and surprisingly complete, example of a 10th Century Cistercian Abbey. The ruined building and the incredible countryside created an awe-inspiring scene.
