Bolton Abbey ~ Yorkshire

Bolton Abbey
Yorkshire



The majestic beauty of Bolton Abbey nestles comfortably in the arms of the Strid Valley
where the remains of the C12 Augustinian priory still exert their indomitable presence on the
hills and dales of lower Wharfedale. 



Sheep quietly go about their business seemingly oblivious to the beauty behind them




The Parish Church of St Mary and St Cuthbert


The nave of the Abbey Church has been in use since 1170 and survived the  
Dissolution of the Monasteries in the C16




Bolton Abbey Hall
