Rievaulx Abbey

Rievaulx Abbey in North Yorkshire, once home to 700 people, was one of the wealthiest abbeys in England. It's remains sit in stark dignity, nestled against a Yorkshire hillside. It was dissolved during Henry VIII's dissolution of the English monasteries, stripped of its roof and other valuables. It makes an eerie impression sitting among grazing sheep.
