Byland Abbey

While not as much left standing as other abbeys, it's exceptionally impressive by its sheer scale. Well worth a look and an interesting little museum with very knowledgeable staff. Both site and museum are free. Lovely old inn opposite serving great food.

Really interesting abbey ruins, huge site. It's worth buying a guidebook before you visit as its an unattended site. In the summer the medieval floors are uncovered and fascinating to look at. Museum closed when we visited.

By accident we came across the Byland Abbey. We were pleasantly surprised. It gave us a real insight of how big it must have been in its glory days. There is The Abbey Inn across the road for some refreshments. The site can be seen for free. There is a museum on the premises but it was closed when we were there. There is a small car park nearby. A must see for young and old!

Absolutely stunning English Heritage property free to enter. Wonderful atmosphere with a great pub across the road serving good food too!

Absolutely fascinating. Amazingly well preserved. Could do with a few more informational boards to help understand the different areas. But regardless such an amazing piece of history. We watched the sunset from here, absolutely magical.
