Abbeys in Yorkshire

The great abbeys of Yorkshire — Fountains, Rievaulx, Whitby, Bolton — rank among the most evocative ruins in Europe. Set in dramatic valleys and on windswept headlands, these medieval monastic houses tell stories of faith, wealth, and the upheaval of the Dissolution.

Highlights include Cholmley House.

Visitors exploring abbeys may also enjoy Yorkshire's castles, cathedrals and churches and historic landmarks.
