The ruins of Dale Abbey are all that is left of a former Premonstratensian abbey that, after a few false starts, was founded in the early 13th century. The ruins stand in the pleasant village of the same name.
Today, the magnificent arch of the east window is a dramatic sight. It is a poignant reminder of the faded grandeur of the monasteries.

A village with loads of history. Named after the Abbey which was destroyed in the Reformation but which has an impressive arch remaining and which can be reached easily from the road. Various other parts of the old abbey built into nearby houses can be found. Nearby are hermit caves and other historical sites. Well worth a visit whilst cycling - some of the attractions need a mountain bike or a short walk to visit.
