This impressive Augustinian priory, founded around 1169, is just a stone's throw from Hadrian's Wall. Its ruins tell stories of kings, wars, and pilgrims. King Edward I stayed here in 1306 during his final campaign against the Scots, and Robert the Bruce later attacked the monastery.
The church ruins still stand tall, with a dramatic triple-arched structure.
Built partly with stones from Hadrian's Wall, they include Roman inscriptions.
Inside, you'll find the Lanercost Cross (1214) and the Lanercost Dossal, a work of art designed by William Morris.

Lanercost Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Built in 1724 by four local masons, this bridge replaced earlier wooden structures that had been destroyed by flooding. The bridge consists of two segmental arches: one over the river and one over the old Abbey Mill stream. The red sandstone, the triangular cutwaters, and the gently curving shape give it an authentic character.
