| Discover one of Ryedale's true gems – the 18th-century landscape of Rievaulx Terrace. Stroll through woods then out onto the grass terrace that offers stunning views down over the Cistercian ruin of Rievaulx Abbey. In spring the bank side between the Terrace's two temples is awash with wild flowers; in summer the lawns lend themselves to picnicking; and in autumn the beechwoods paint the landscape with autumn hues. All the while, you can step back into the 18th century for just a moment as you gaze up at the wonderful painted ceiling of the Ionic Temple. Why not make a day of it? It's close proximity to Nunnington Hall makes Rievaulx Terrace an ideal morning visit before discovering Nunnington in the afternoon. | | | | No access to Rievaulx Abbey from Terrace.
