Birdforthのおすすめツーリングルート

バイランド修道院は、イングランドのノースヨークシャーにあるノースヨークムーアズ国立公園内に位置する12世紀の廃墟となった修道院で、現在はイングリッシュ・ヘリテージが管理しています。かつてシトー会の強力な拠点であったこの修道院は、国内における初期ゴシック建築の最も優れた例の一つであり、ヨーク・ミンстерの象徴的なバラ窓のデザインにインスピレーションを与えたことで有名です。

Stayed at one of the local pubs, was good but their internet connection was non-existent, had to pay for a 24hr hotspot with EE

Expensive parking but some nice routes

One of only a few such mazes left in the country and the only one in Yorkshire.

Open everyday to the public. No charge.

Had a coffee and one of the best sausage rolls I have had in a long time. Which I had on the picnic benches in the garden across the street. Delightful!

Byland Abbey is a stunning ruin dating back to the 1100s. It was once one of the grandest medieval monasteries but was dissolved by Henry VIII in the 1530s. Today it offers a scenic picnic spot and a glimpse into history. It's free to visit and features a tearoom open from March to November, serving cakes and coffee​
