  1. Jervaulx Abbey - It was founded by French cistercians from the Roquefort region, who developed the cheese that would become Wensleydale.

    The Abbey was heavily involved in the Pilgrimage of Grace and suffered badly as a consequence. It's a really romantic flower covered ruin today.

    I had one of my best ever naps here one late summer afternoon 😴

  2. Rievaulx Abbey - the scale of the great Cistercian monasteries is always breathtaking. I love how Rievaulx sits in the landscape #abbeys #englishheritage #CistercianArchitecture #medieval #history #Yorkshire #northyorkshire
