Stark Bank Road, between Jervaulx and Ellingstring, rises steeply to the south; when at the top end, look to the north for superb views of Wensleydale. Apparently, this might have been an ancient route from the coal mines at Colsterdale to Jervaulx Abbey.

This church was built between 1809 and 1813, paid for by the Earl of Aylesbury, who was the squire of Jervaulx. During the Victorian era, a lot of the interior was redone. I find the stained-glass windows in the church to be "totally exquisite".

Jervaulx Abbey is a Cistercian Abbey, one of many in Yorkshire that were demolished during the desolation of the monasteries in the 16th century. It is owned by the Burdon family who keep the Abbey open to visitors every day, from dawn until dusk. It is also a wedding venue so can be shut on occasions when ceremonies are taking place.

Once one of Yorkshire's great Cistercian abbeys, Jervaulx Abbey is today an enchanting ruin and a Grade I-listed building in the northern reaches of the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Today, it is a family-run ancient monument and is open to visitors all year round. While there is no official entrance fee, visitors are asked to make a contribution to the conservation of this grand piece of monastic history.
