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.
