    Founded by Stephen, King of England, Furness went on to become England’s second richest Cistercian abbey. Its red sandstone ruins include the tower and recently conserved east end of the great church; the chapter house; and almost the entire cloister east range.

    The ruins of Furness Abbey sit next to a picturesque wooded valley — the perfect spot fot a walk.
