If you are visiting Rievaulx Abbey, it’s well worth taking a stroll to Rievaulx Terrace. The 18th-century landscape gardens contain two temples and afford a breathtaking view over the abbey surrounded by the rolling Yorkshire hills. You have to pay to enter the gardens.

Rievaulx Abbey was the first major abbey of the Cistercian order in England, which arose in Burgundy in the late 11th century.
