Escape the crowds and experience the serenity and beauty of this impressive monastic site, situated in the middle of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park. Rievaulx Abbey was founded by St Bernard of Clairvaux in 1132 and become one of England's wealthiest monasteries before its dissolution by King Henry VIII in 1538. Highlights of its long history are displayed in the indoor interactive museum, and afterwards there's delicious local food to enjoy in the tearoom.
