Byland Abbey is about 20 miles north of York. http://www.theheritagetrail.co.uk/abbeys/byland%20abbey.htm One of a number of abbeys in the county. Very atmospheric, not to say precarious. It is on a cycle route to the North York Moors, with a secret water tap behind a wall, for the thirsty cyclist.
The whole abbey was relocated here after the monks at Old Byland could not agree with the monks at nearby Riveaux how to accommodate two sets of bell ringing in the same locality. Pathetic but true.
