Abbeys Ruins & Reformation : Byland, Rievaulx & lunch in Helmsley

Despre activitate

What sets this tour apart is the chance to explore some of Yorkshire’s most impressive medieval abbeys in one private day from York, while also seeing the villages, landscapes and historic towns that connect them.

Rather than joining a coach tour, you travel as your own private group of up to four guests, with hotel pickup, a local driver-guide and a route that can adapt to the day. The focus is not simply on seeing ruins, but on understanding the monasteries, the communities around them and the dramatic changes brought by the Reformation.

The route combines major historic sites such as Byland Abbey and Rievaulx Abbey with places including Coxwold, Kilburn and Helmsley, giving the day a much broader sense of Yorkshire’s history and landscape.

As an English Heritage travel trade partner, we can also make pre-booked arrangements at participating English Heritage sites where available, helping admissions run more smoothly and giving our guests access to any applicable benefits.

Itinerar

  1. York Minster

    15 min Intrarea nu este inclusă

    Begin beside York Minster, one of the great cathedrals of northern Europe. This short opening stop sets the scene for the tour: medieval religion, power, wealth, pilgrimage, architecture and the religious upheaval that later reshaped England. Admission tickets are not included. Any paid entry is optional and payable directly to the attraction, either on-site or in advance. Entry is not required to enjoy the tour, as all sites can be viewed and experienced from the exterior. Admission prices are set by the attractions and may vary.

  2. Byland Abbey

    45 min

    Visit the atmospheric ruins of Byland Abbey, once one of Yorkshire’s great Cistercian monasteries. Its scale, setting and surviving architecture show how powerful these religious houses became before the Reformation changed everything.

  3. Coxwold

    25 min

    A beautiful historic village with strong connections to the surrounding abbeys, estates and landscapes of North Yorkshire. This stop gives guests a quieter look at village life, local heritage and the world that grew around Yorkshire’s great religious houses.

  4. White Horse of Kilburn

    25 min

    Visit one of Yorkshire’s most striking landmarks: the huge white horse carved into the hillside above Kilburn. This scenic stop gives guests sweeping views across the Vale of York and a sense of the landscape that connected abbeys, villages, estates and old routes across North Yorkshire.

  5. Rievaulx Abbey

    45 min Intrarea nu este inclusă

    Visit one of England’s most atmospheric ruined abbeys, hidden in a quiet valley beneath wooded hills. Rievaulx was once one of the most powerful Cistercian monasteries in the country, and its ruins tell the story of faith, wealth, landscape and the dramatic destruction brought by the Reformation.

    Guests can choose to enter the abbey, or enjoy views of the ruins and surrounding valley from outside. Admission tickets are not included. Any paid entry is optional and payable directly to the attraction, either on-site or in advance. Entry is not required to enjoy the tour, as all sites can be viewed and experienced from the exterior. Admission prices are set by the attractions and may vary.

  6. Oprirea 6

    o oră

    Stop in the historic market town of Helmsley, one of the most attractive towns on the edge of the North York Moors. This is a good chance for guests to stretch their legs, enjoy refreshments, take photos, and see how Yorkshire’s abbeys, castles, villages and market towns all connected across the landscape.

  7. Oswaldkirk

    15 min

    A quiet historic church stop in the village of Oswaldkirk, giving guests a more intimate glimpse of Yorkshire’s religious landscape beyond the great abbeys. This is a short atmospheric stop, useful for linking the grand monastic sites with the smaller parish churches and villages that shaped everyday medieval life.

  8. Clifford's Tower

    15 min Intrarea nu este inclusă

    End the tour at Clifford’s Tower, one of York’s most recognisable historic landmarks. This final stop brings the story back to the city, linking York’s religious importance with royal power, medieval conflict and the darker layers of its past. Admission tickets are not included. Any paid entry is optional and payable directly to the attraction, either on-site or in advance. Entry is not required to enjoy the tour, as all sites can be viewed and experienced from the exterior. Admission prices are set by the attractions and may vary.
