Bolton Abbey


Bolton Abbey is in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales on the banks of the River Wharfe. With just under 30,000 acres of beautiful countryside, over 80 miles of footpaths and ample space to run around and enjoy the fresh air, there is something for all ages.

The land at Bolton once was granted to the Augustinian Canons and after the dissolution of the monastries in 1539 the nave of the Priory was allowed to continue as a parish church. Over time the stone structures weakened and began to fall down. Rather than leaving good stone to go to waste is was pillaged and today can be found in buildings up and down the Wharfe valley.

With seating both in and around the Priory Church, this is the perfect location to sit back, admire the view and escape the 21st century.
