About this property
Set in the beautiful Skell Valley, this World Heritage Site offers a great day out for all the family. Lose yourself in the passages, staircases and towers of the largest monastic ruins in the country and marvel at a unique relic of ancient craftsmanship. Then explore the 12th-century abbey ruins, Elizabethan mansion (three rooms open to the public), medieval deer park and one of England's most spectacular Georgian water gardens – complete with neo-classical statues, follies and breathtaking surprise views. And, if this were not enough, there is also the only surviving 12th-century Cistercian corn mill in Britain, with interactive displays and an exhibition of artefacts from the abbey.
