Good place to visit if you're interested in this type of thing. Car park close by, but small so will get full at busy times. Quite a large site. Guided tours available at times, I'd recommend check with English Heritage before visiting if you want a tour. Reasonable amount of info on-site.
Amazing experience- full of ruins built to a massive scale. It’s free to visit and you can spend ages exploring the ruins. Useful signs telling you what the different parts of the abbey were used for.
Just a short jump over the hill for us to enjoy one of our favourite walks. The route from the Richmond Falls Car Park to Easby Abbey is quite easy going, mainly flat and undemanding and it doesn't take long to reach the beautiful ruins of the Abbey. There is a car park at the Abbey itself for non-walkers or for those with only limited time to visit The Abbey itself is quite extensive and in parts it is still in fairly good condition with fabulous arches and intricate architecture. Be sure to look up the tale of the Lost Drummer Boy and keep an ear alert for his signal as you browse around this lovely historic site. Once you have soaked up the atmosphere you can continue along the path, which is mainly broad and dry, until you find yourself at the old railway station where there is a lovely dog friendly cafe and gift shop. Well worth a stop. From here you can choose to take the quick route over the bridge and back onto the path returning to your start point at the falls or you can take the left path by the bridge which follows a rougher route over the fields. Whichever route you choose will lead you into Richmond centre where you can enjoy a leisurely stroll around the town or maybe do as we do and buy a pork pie or sausage roll from the local bakery and sit on the steps of the monument to eat whilst watching the world bustle by. A day spent here is a day spent well.
Beautiful, quiet and idyllic abbey ruins with an active parish church. Access is via a small gate to the south of the abbey, not via the parish church gate. Although not totally flat access for mobility limited individuals, including wheelchairs, is possible across the majority of the site with some assistance, when dry! There are a number of information boards around the site, which repeats the information found on the English Heritage website. The ruins also provide fantastic artistic opportunities for both the artist and photographer. I have attached my feeble efforts.
Stunning. A must if you are in Richmond. And the adjacent church is simply sublime. The ruins are simply astonishing What it would have been like if not destroyed one cannot imagine. Access it via the 2 mile walk from the Station carpark. 2.5 for 4 hours. Map available in The Station complex . Then visit the waterfall and the castle. And then Wetherspoons, to cap the day. Blue discs available from certain shops, for two hours free parking in the Market Square. Free after 6 without one.
Free abbey to visit. Lots of signs explaining the history of the abbey. Plenty to look at. Only downside is carpark is very small and fills up quickly.
Beautiful place to visit…we had a lovely walk through the woodland and over the river Swale to get to the Abbey and it did not disappoint. My son 4 really enjoys our adventures and he said ‘he had a super fun day’
Free entry. Good lot of ruins. Small car park. Visitor guide available from Richmond Castle
A beautiful place which amazing historic value that you can visit for free! 5 stars!
A beautiful setting for this Abbey and plenty of ruins to see. Originally built in the 12th Century it was enlarged in the 14th Century. As with so many religious buildings aligned with Rome, alot of the Abbey was destroyed under Henry VIII's reign. The refectory is the most complete and impressive building on this site. English Heritage have done a good job in providing the history of this place on information boards around the site together with illustrations of what the undamaged structure would have looked like. I'm amazed that English Heritage don't charge to visit this place, but maybe that's due to the cost/logistics of setting up an office here. From the Abbey, you can do a circular walk along to Richmond and back. Easy route following the River Swale. Alot of people visiting the Abbey like myself were also doing this walk. Beware, although parking is free, it is very limited, I was lucky to get a space after a 10 minute wait for someone to leave.
