Description

escaped the crowds to experience the serene beauty of this impressive monastic site, in the middle of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park. Rievaulx Abbey was founded by St Bernard of Clairvaux in 1132 and became one of England’s wealthiest monasteries before its dissolution by King Henry VIII in 1538.

Its a wonder they were not razed to the ground and the stonework not used for houses nearby. Excellent capture David, if only these stones could talk. Bravo!!!!!
