Lista 20 najciekawszych atrakcji i miejsc wartych zobaczenia wokół Richmond

Byland Abbey to ruiny klasztoru z XII wieku położonego w Parku Narodowym North York Moors w North Yorkshire w Anglii, zarządzanego obecnie przez English Heritage. Niegdyś potęga zakonu cystersów, stanowi jeden z najwspanialszych przykładów wczesnogotyckiej architektury w kraju i słynnie zainspirował projekt kultowego Rose Window w York Minster.

Gormire Lake is a natural lowland lake that lies at the foot of Whitestone Cliff, a western escarpment of the Hambleton Hills

Expensive parking but some nice routes

Open at all daylight hours. No charge.

Meaning "filthy swamp", there are many local legends and myths surrounding this lake, such as it is bottomless (it is 6.5m deep) and was created by an earthquake that swallowed a village resulting in the lake today (it is a glacial lake).

Large car park under the White Horse, £2.50 all day as at July 2024. Free parking in a smaller off-road car park on Osgodby Bank at the southern end of Hood Hill Plantation. Very steep steps up to the top, but there is a metal handrail that alternates from the left to right side of the steps. Fabulous views from the top, although as others mention, you can only really see and appreciate the horse from the bottom of the bank.

Needs to be viewed from the bottom carpark

Interesting for their sheer size alone, the old remains of the abbey also have an air of transience about them. Only the sometimes horrendous entrance fees prevent people from taking a closer look at the remains of the walls. It would certainly have been interesting.
