The Splendour of Bolton Abbey

A walk along the River Wharfe is incomplete without a look at this wonderful ruined Abbey. Here we see the old ruined monastery but the green topped building to the right is still a living church with a fine knave: The Priory Church of St Mary and St Cuthbert.

Bolton Abbey in Wharfedale, North Yorkshire, England, takes its name from the ruins of the 12th-century Augustinian monastery now known as Bolton Priory. The priory, closed in the 1539 Dissolution of the Monasteries ordered by King Henry VIII

Thanks Toz, yes a great part of the Dales and in certain light this valley and Abbey is indeed quite beautiful. It was a change to see this in good weather, normally it is raining and cloudy whenever I come here. PiPs included now too. ~ Herb
