Story · Rievaulx Abbey
You're standing at the ruins of Rievaulx Abbey, in a wooded dale beside the River Rye. Have a look around. Hills on every side, trees, and not much else. That's exactly why the monks chose this spot. They wanted a strict life of prayer, growing their own food, with as little contact with the outside world as possible.
