Whilst we crammed absolutely loads of lovely things in whilst we were staying in Yorkshire back in November … one of the main reasons for choosing that location was because we wanted to visit the Castle Howard Christmas Event, the theme for this year being The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
We’d booked a late afternoon slot so we would be visiting just as it was starting to get dark so had plenty of time for a bit of mooching about first.
Earlier in our stay we’d driven past Byland Abbey and, as we were heading in that direction again, it just seemed perfect for a bit of a stop and a wander …
It’s not on the same scale as Fountains but there was still plenty to see …

What a wonderful atmospheric ruined abbey. x
ReplyDeleteI have to say that we do love an abbey. Especially one that is a bit off the beaten track x
DeleteByland Abbey looks a really interesting spot. Going later looked to have been the right decision - seems like you had the abbey to yourselves :)
ReplyDeleteIt was lovely to have it to ourselves. Another group just left as we arrived. I can imagine it gets pretty busy in the summer especially as it’s such a lovely spot x
