Newburgh Priory

Highlight • Historical Site

The very impressive Newburgh Priory is the home of the Wombwell family. It was founded in 1145, and was an Augustinian priory before becoming the House that it is today.

You can visit the House and Gardens, but only between April and June at a fee that doesn't seem too high. The place is quite stunning. Oh, and there is a tearoom!

Newburgh Fish Pond

Highlight • Lake

A lovely little lake here, with benches to sit on and enjoy it, right next to where Colley Broach Road and Oulston Roads meet. You've got Newburgh Priory right next to you here, which is a spectacular place to look at (and can be visited between April and June).

Byland Abbey Ruins

Highlight • Historical Site

Absolutely non-miss this one. This is one of the finest and greatest monasteries in England. Byland Abbey inspired the way churches were built throughout the north. These almost preposterously amazing and extensive ruins used to be a Cistercian abbey in the 12th century, with 36 monks and 100 lay brothers.

The Abbey is maintained by English Heritage and completely free to enter as long as it's daylight.

Byland Abbey

Highlight • Historical Site

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​

Coxwold Village

Highlight • Settlement

Pretty village with an informative website if local history is your thing. Recorded under the name of Cucvalt in the Domesday Book, and the local church is where George Orby Wombwell, the last surviving officer of the Charge of the Light Brigade, is buried.
