The ruins of a large Gothic cathedral with multiple arches and columns.
A series of Gothic arches in a ruined state, surrounded by green grass and trees.
A misty forest with bare trees and a hill in the background.
A large, historic stone building with multiple arched windows and a ruined structure in front.
A large, historic stone building with multiple arches and a tall tower, surrounded by a grassy field and hills.
There's much we can learn about the past from observing old ruins. Take a trip back through history and reflect on days gone by at Rievaulx Abbey.

This once-important structure is often on the itineraries of visitors to York. But Rievaulx Abbey isn't the only drawcard here. Hemsley Walled Garden, Ampleforth Abbey, and Byland Abbey are some other worthwhile sights nearby.
