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.
